"Lady Maybe" is the 2015 novel by Julie Klassen. In this book Hannah Rogers is the ladies companion of 1819 Lady, Marianna of Bath, England. Marianna is a loose cannon...so to speak. She's been having an affair on her husband, Sir John and making life a living hell for all. Sir John keeps moving and changing environments in hopes of reigning his wayward wife in to no avail. On his latest maneuver, there is a carriage accident and suddenly the situation finally turns.
This book is a pretty classic love triangle. Though I'm not sure either man was worthy. Both seemed to just want to own her, not actually be with her. Both were forward and abusive. If it were 2021 she would definitely have a civil suit if not an actual criminal case. I didn't really like this one. I kept wishing she would just take the money and run. However, it was 1819 and women didn't have a lot of options.
