A Dubious Legacy: A Novel

Couples, both married and unmarried, collide at a country house during a weekend of sex, adventure, and shocking surprises



In 1944, with Britain still embroiled in World War II, Henry Tillotson marries a mysterious woman in desperate need of a passport. On their wedding night, she gives her new husband a black eye and falls ill.

Is Margaret mad? Or is something else driving her—something from her shadowy past? The arrival of two more couples at the Tillotson estate sets in motion a series of events that will impact all their lives—for better or for worse.

In Margaret Tillotson, Mary Wesley has created one of her most wickedly creative—and unforgettable—characters. A Dubious Legacy is an irresistible page-turner of a book about love and marriage, legacies, secrets, and revenge.
