Stars in My Heart — Barbara Cartland

The Counterfeit Empress

An amazing resemblance to the beautiful Empress Elizabeth of Austria led Lady Gisela Musgrave into a strange assignment-to pose as the empress for a visit to the aging Lord Hugo Quenby, so that Elizabeth would not have to interrupt her hunting in the English countryside.

But there was a new Lord Quenby in residence at Hawke Castle--a dark, arrogant young man who responded immediately to her beauty. Realizing that the love she prized so much was meant for the empress, Gisela knew she must not see him again. Was it fate that put an obstacle in her path as she blindly ran away?
