But they knew nothing if her pain. Death had cruelly taken her perfect love, and she felt mercifully numb, her heart frozen...A secret wager was set--who could seduce the Mourning Bride?--and two men vied for her attentions. Sir Clayton's advances disturbed her. But the incredibly charming, impossibly desirable Sir Gideon Parre awakened in her a passion she had long forgotten.
QUEEN OF HEARTS 11/1982 ISBN:0515066982 Lady Christina hated the Ferrier name - yet it was her very own, a car from her few fleeting hours of marriage to Charles Ferrier. She'd loved him truly, but his passion was for her money alone. When he died in a duel on the day of their elopement, she vowed never to love again - and had been breaking hearts ever since. Then Quentin Ferrier took her into his arms. Returned from the war, he stormed every barricade surrounding her battered heart. But how could she trust the brother of the very man who had betrayed her so scandalously?
