Whether you enjoy Bridgerton, Jane Austen, or simply love the period, this is for you.
A fast-paced historical novel unlike anything you have ever read.
A scandalous chronology, event by event, year by year, revealing what really went on.
Real people, real affairs, real scandals of the powerful, rich and famous.
Behind the balls and grand houses lies a world of espionage, seduction and political intrigue.
But scandalous affairs are not limited to the rich and famous.
Our story begins in pastoral Windsor, where young Emmeline Pennington learns her painting has been accepted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
This is the most fashionable event of the year, held at Somerset House, where the Navy Board are also moving in.
There she meets Lieutenant Thomas Harwood and Roger Rodington, a naval purser doing rather well for himself.
Ladies’ man Major Miles Vane connects the Admiralty to its network of spies and brothels in Paris.
Like Vane, though fictional, Emmeline, Thomas, Roger and Darcy’s other young lovers, all bring real events and scandals to life.
As storm clouds gather, each faces the very real dilemmas of the age.
An age, much like our own, when nothing is certain.
Then France erupts.
Britain responds with taxes, loans and war.
Funding her allies with Caribbean wealth.
Her navy fighting to command the high seas.
Austria waits. Prussia too.
Russia joins, changing her Tsar one dark night.
Upstart America finds her own voice.
Raising her flag to a British tune.
Canada stands firm, resisting invasion.
World-changing events, from a female perspective.
Women surviving the follies of men.
With Darcy’s young cast seeking romance.
Taking delight, exposing hypocrisy.
Irreverent, ironic and wryly sardonic.
With subdued sarcasm, Darcy provokes.
Like today’s uncertain times, we have been here before.
This is the amazing Darcy Blaze Scandal Gallery.
