A Lady of Quality (Ladies in Waiting #3)

Catherine du Coeur plots revenge against a baron, Lord Winston, who falsified evidence accusing her father of treason, which sent the French comte into hiding to avoid execution. With a trusted friend’s help, Catherine assumes a false identity and takes a position as the lowly companion to a wealthy widow related to the baron. But the closer she comes to Lord Winston, the more she begins to doubt that the seemingly upright gentleman could have such evil in his heart. As for her own traitorous heart, she struggles not to surrender it to the handsome baron.

When Lord Winston meets Miss Catherine Hart, his kinswoman’s lovely companion, he is charmed by her grace and beauty. Assured by his mentor that her family’s pedigree matches his own, he decides to court her in earnest. But while his political ambitions are prospering, his courtship is subject to the whims of the lady. One moment she is warm and witty, the next, cool and distant. Is she troubled by some secret distress, or simply toying with his growing affections? Only when he and Miss Hart are in mortal danger do they realize that love will rescue them both.
