LADY OF FORTUNE

September 1988

Regency Romance

NAL/Signet SuperRegency

ISBN 0-451-15547-5

Beautiful, young, dark-haired Comtesse Marie-Christine D’Estelle was stripped of title, family and fortune by the terror of the French Revolution. But after her escape to England, she faced even greater danger at the hands of Lewis, Lord Radcliffe, whose lust-filled demand that she be his bride filled her with loathing.

There was only one way out for Christa: the flight to Regency London, even if that was where a young and lovely girl could be fair game for gentlemen on the prowl. But little did she expect that her disguise as a servant in the household of Alex, Lord Kingsley would put a heart-breaking gap between her and the irresistibly handsome Viscount. Yet it was a gap that passion found a way to bridge. And her masquerade as a servant melted in the arms of the man for whom Christa would happily become a slave of love . . .
