Queen of Diamonds

All bets are off in Barbara Metzger's latest novel. She raises the stakes as two brothers close in on finding their long-lost sister--and restoring order to the House of Carde.

There's not a soul for miles who doesn't know the story of the vanished Lady Charlotte Endicott and the handsome reward that will accompany her safe return. Scores of blond-haired, blue-eyed impostors claiming to be the girl have tried their luck at Jack Endicott's casino, only to be turned away....

Queenie Dennis, a diamond in the rough, just might be the famous Lottie. And fate takes a turn when she returns to the swirl of the beau monde under an assumed identity as a dressmaker fresh from France. Queenie quickly becomes the talk of the ton and catches the eye of the handsome Lord Harking, who has come to London in search of stolen family heirlooms. As Queenie's desire for him grows, her lies begin to catch up with her. Will Harking call her bluff; or will love hold the winning hand?
