Isabella Collins dihadiahi takdir yang manis; Ia seorang wanita yang lincah, bersemangat, dan beruntung, sebuah pengecualian di tengah kerasnya masa Industrialisasi Inggris. Tahun 1863 menjadi tahun keajaiban baginya; ia bertemu kembali dengan keluarganya yang terhormat dan langsung menduduki derajat sosial yang tinggi. Namun, hidup di London tidak semudah yang dibayangkan. Terlebih Henry, sepupu yang ia sayangi, telah menjadi orang yang jauh berbeda setelah sepuluh tahun berlalu. Karena harus tinggal bersama Adipati Romford, pamannya, Isabella terpaksa harus berlagak layaknya wanita bangsawan-terbelenggu oleh seribu aturan tak tertulis. Semakin lama ia berada di sana, semakin ia menyadari bahwa di balik tembok-tembok indah itu, para aristokrat menyimpan sisi gelap yang menjijikkan. Ada skandal berdarah seperti pembunuhan Georgiana Wilson oleh kekasihnya, sebuah aib yang sudah lama ditutupi oleh kekuatan dan nama besar keluarga. Pertanyaannya kini menggantung di udara London yang dingin: Mampukah jiwa Isabella menahan gairah keingintahuan yang mendesaknya untuk menggali kebenaran di balik tirai-tirai tebal itu? Ataukah ia justru akan terperosok dan tenggelam dalam pusaran intrik kaum bangsawan? Cerita ini diambil dengan latar kehidupan era Ratu Victoria, di mana kehormatan adalah topeng paling sempurna. ---------- Cover by Clara James. Copyright© Ivory.

SEQUEL TO:- "THE BETA'S UNWANTED MATE CANNOT be read as a stand alone. You have to have read THE BETA'S UNWANTED MATE including chapters 2.00, 2.01, 2.03 and 2.04 (that are within the same book). --- "I can't believe you could do this to me," he said, shaking his head, his eyes filled with so many emotions that made my heart squeeze with pain and agony. "How could you..." he whispered, "After all those years I looked for my mate. After all those years I fought with the world for you..." His eyes were filling up with tears and by this point, I was in so much of pain that someone could claw my heart out of my chest, and I won't feel it. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to..." I pleaded, my voice showing my desperation and my actions expressing how sorry I was. "You're not sorry. You probably still don't believe me," he said, shaking his head, looking away from me. "I trust you." I said, softly. Moving towards him. "But you're still with her too." He said, his voice turning dark and bitter. "You can't have it both way, Rosalita. It's either her or me." "But-" I started, but he cut me off. "No." He said, "I don't want any excuses." "She lies to you, Rosalita. Don't you see? She used you. She played with your feelings." He said, provoking me, in a loud voice. A chill ran down my spine and a bitter feeling filled my heart as I heard his words. I didn't need a reminder. "She's still my friend though." I said, sounding weak to my own ears. But I couldn't leave her. Especially not at this point. He sighed, tired of me. "Look, I don't know what to say, I don't know what to do if you have decided to act blind like this. I didn't want to do this ..but now I'll have to," he looked at me in my eyes with an icy expression. "Do you want me to forgive you?" He asked. "Of course." I answered, in a heartbeat. "Alright, then prove me that you are with me and not with her anymore. Kill my biggest enemy Olivia Hart for me."

Octavia Sorrell, the Countess of Kendall, had been forced into marriage by her father and brother when she was only fifteen years old. Just after her sixteenth birthday, she gave birth to twins; Charles and Olivia. Two years later, after Lord Kendall's scandalous death, and fearing the gossip it had caused her, she began to live the life of a recluse, only visiting her closest neighbours, Sir Freddie Sommerville and his wife and old school friend, Katie. However, when Charles was ten years old and woefully underprepared for the vigours of an English aristocratic education at Eton, Freddie, who was also her son's guardian persuades her to employ a tutor for her son, to prepare him for school. Captain Alexander Fallbrook, after returning a hero from the battle of Waterloo, was living the life of a libertine. His family, embarrassed by his latest exploits, decided that the best course of action was to send him far away from London. His mother, the Countess of Huntingdon, heard of a position as a tutor for a young lad in Yorkshire, far away from the temptations of town, and she encouraged him to apply for the position. When Alex arrived in Yorkshire, he was somewhat taken by the beautiful young Countess and decided that his time in the country may not be as dull as he first expected. However, as he became better acquainted with the young widow, he recognised a fellow soul in torment. Can Alex overcome four years of guilt, or will he be unable to let go of the past to embrace his future?
