The Disgraced Lady

The reputation of Lady Candy Denchire is ruined. Her ex-husband, a debauched scoundrel, disgraced her, deceitfully obtained a divorce through the court, and took away her son. High society does not accept Candy and eagerly discusses behind her back the outrageous rumors about the unimaginable depravity of the young woman. One day at a ball, Candy meets another outcast. Lord Lucas Foxton bravely fought in the Napoleonic Wars but was wounded and taken captive. Having escaped from captivity, he broke his word and now also considers himself disgraced. Feeling sympathy for Candy's story, Lucas offers her help in restoring the good name of the lady.
