Book Review By lipp78
No Man's Mistress by Mary Balogh

The main characters were Lord Ferdinand and Viola. The novel starts with a festival in a small village where the two meet in rather romantic circumstances.

The conflict starts the very next day when Lord Ferdinand arrives at Pinewood Manor and finds Viola in residence. Having won Pinewood Manor in a card game, Lord Ferdinand was adamant in his efforts to claim his ownership. Viola who had lived there for the last two years after leaving London was scared of losing her home and the source of her income.
