A Lady's Deception

She pretends to be a he...until a lord unmasks her heart.

A SCANDALOUS MASQUERADE

Tacye Adlington would be ruined if were caught. As slender and daring as her twin brother Terry had been, Tacye had disguised herself as "Tobias" Adlington, a very proper escort for her younger sister during the Little Season at Bath. Ever since Terry, a British officer, was killed on the continent, Tacye had run their family estate as efficiently as any man. And she was willing to look like one, too -- if it helped her sister snare a husband.

But Tacye didn't count on meeting the solitary, brooding very handsome Marquess of Worth. Amid Bath's parties and Pump Room dances, Worth challenged her to a horse race, and engaged her in intimate conversation...man to "man"! Suddenly Tayce felt herself falling in love -- and into a deuce of a dilemma. Revealing her true identity would create a scandal, but continuing this masquerade could surely break her heart...
