The Unmatched Maid

Summary

I am a lady’s maid in a world obsessed with perfect pairings.

In my last life, my mistress, Lady Arabella, forced me into a marriage with her fiancé's valet, all "for my own good."

She’d said it with a bashful smile. "My horse is a match for the Viscount's horse, my dog for his dog... so it’s only right that my maid should be paired with his valet. It will show the world how perfectly matched the Viscount and I are."

The man was a philandering brute who beat me when he was drunk. I was trapped in a living hell. But when I pleaded with my mistress for help, she turned a blind eye.
