The Good Lawyer

In the heart of London in 1815, amidst the glittering facades of aristocracy and whispered scandals of the ton, one of those gossips is Vittoria Savoia, a widowed Italian noblewoman seeking justice for herself and her two young sons because she was betrayed in a very hurtful way.When she first arrived in London, she was happily married with two sons. She was refined, intelligent, and disarmingly beautiful, and she quickly captured the attention of the city's elite-but none more dangerously than the Duke of York, a man of power, charm, and unshakable influence.After her husband falls ill and dies, the Duke of York seduces Vittoria with fine words, stolen glances, and extravagant gifts under the guise of affection and patronage. But what begins as a passionate liaison soon spirals into betrayal. Vittoria is deceived, her inheritance manipulated, and her honour stained while the Duke moves freely through society, shielded by his title and charm.Scorned and nearly ruined, Vittoria does not retreat. With the aid of Christopher Aubrey, better known as the Duke of Albemarle, a principled barrister and Duke in his own right-haunted by secrets and torn between duty and desire-she steps into the treacherous arena of the courts. There, she dares to expose the truth among the powdered wigs and murmured judgments.As London watches in scandalised fascination, evidence is unveiled, allies turn, and the Duke of York's gilded mask begins to slip. Yet even amid public triumph, Vittoria must face the cost of her courage: the toll on her reputation, the safety of her sons, and the impossible tension between her and the man who defends her-not just in court, but in the heart.A story of seduction, betrayal, justice, and love, "The Good Lawyer" is a sweeping historical romance in which dignity meets defiance and a woman reclaims her fortune and honour.It was inspired by Jane Austen's classics.
