The Golden Feather

After the death of her husband, Caroline Aldritch is shocked to learn his only legacy to her is the Golden Feather, a gaming establishment. Faced with a life of poverty, the genteel widow hatches a desperate scheme: She will don a silk mask, call herself Mrs. Archer, and risk great scandal by running the Golden Feather. No one must ever discover her secret-not even the dashing Lord Lyndon. Once a notorious rake with a penchant for duels, Lord Lyndon has become a perfect gentleman after serving with his father's former regiment in India. Upon his return to England, he devotes himself to his relatives-never expecting to fall under the spell of the exotic Mrs. Archer. Bewitched, bewildered, and bemused, he soon vows to use all his charm and cunning to unmask the dazzling beauty and claim her love for his own.
