Intriguing Lady — Daphne Woodward

They met, scandalously, in her bedroom at midnight, and shared a daring escape from France. Now, in London, cynical, mocking Sir Nicholas Thomas is high-spirited Roberta Rushforth's hired protector and seeming suitor in an elaborate masquerade. The social whirl exposes her to the schemes of her jealous former suitor and a notorious French count -- and leaves her breathless in Sir Nicholas' arms... .

Beneath the glittering facade lies dark treachery, but Roberta can no longer mask her passion for Sir Nicholas -- whose ardent gaze might mean nothing . . . or everything.
