ADELAIDE, Australia – Marianne Malthouse returns to the historical romance genre with the release of her novel titled “Milady Disdain” (published by Xlibris AU). In her latest book, Malthouse evokes the grit and glamour of Regency England through the story of Patience Kilpatrick, a young woman who tries to chart her destiny against great odds.

Patience’s father had abandoned his family to fight and die for Bonnie Prince Charlie at the Battle of Culloden. Because of her disgraced patriarch, Patience grew up without the wealth and status that was hers by right. Resigned to living a life far beneath her station, she becomes the governess to the young son of the tragic and enigmatic Milady Costain.

While enduring life’s unexpected twists and turns, Patience transforms from a meek ingénue into a confident and strong woman. Very soon, the young heroine becomes entangled in the lavish landscape of London’s aristocracy, and within her reach, is a life and future she never thought was possible.

Peopled by richly drawn characters, “Milady Disdain” is a story of redemption, hope and love set against the backdrop of the most fascinating eras in English history.
