    About this ebook

    Inside her chamber, with two scented candles burning in spite of the early hour, the Duchess flipped through the pages of her tattered and torn and tea-stained notebook. In this little book, she kept the names and addresses of every man to have ever peaked her interest. It began as something of a fantasy list when she was still pretending to be in love with her husband, a gathering of men whom she would give herself to in a more perfect world. Of course, since the demise of her marriage, this notebook had become a gateway to almost instantaneous sexual release. 

    WARNING: This ebook contains mature content and language that is intended for adult audiences only.

      By Mutual Consent - Rosamund Talbot

      By Mutual Consent

      A Regency Romance Novella

      By: Rosamund Talbot

      By Mutual Consent

      Chapter One

      Duke Geoff Ballens and his wife parted amicably in the spring of 1814. With the Duke beginning his thirty-fifth year of life and the Duchess half way through her thirty-third, both had reached a point of mutual disinterest and were happy to admit that they found the idea of exploring the bodies of other men and women to be far more appealing than the prospect of living together for the next three decades, occasionally removing their clothes and forcing themselves to endure a thirty minute session of sagging breasts and chandelier-like testicles, all topped off with  a semi-erect penis. Due to the fact that they were living in quite a conservative period, the Duke and Duchess agreed that it would be in their best interest if they did not seek out a legal separation. With King George's removal from the throne still relatively recent, the royal family was being closely watched by every man, woman and child in the United Kingdom and the desolation of a Duke's marriage would do little to aid the Prince Regent, who was finding it difficult enough to establish himself as a legitimate ruler. And so, the Duke and the Duchess lived in the same manor - though they kept separate chambers - and attended all balls, parties and other royal gatherings as a seemingly happy couple. Of course, had any member of the media learned of the true nature of their relationship, the Duke and Duchess would have been in a great deal of trouble indeed.

      Geoff, I do wish you would not watch the maid like that, the Duchess told her husband one morning as they finished their breakfasts, which they usually ate together.

      Like what, my dear?

      You know quite well what I am talking about.

      I cannot say that I do, Barbara. You wish I would not watch the maid like what?

      Like that. With your eyes running up and down her legs as if you were observing some wonderful monument in a foreign country.

      I do not think the maid hails from outside of England, actually. I believe she was born in Essex. The Duchess rolled her eyes and rose from her seat, grabbing her cup and saucer and bringing them to the flour covered counter of the kitchen.

      Why, what is the matter? asked the Duke, his tone of voice making him seem a little more condescending than he intended to be.

      "You know what the matter
