Beyond Rubies

Dazzling Kitty La Bijou has run away to London to meet her destiny. Distinguishing herself on the stage, she’s soon embroiled in a passionate affair with a handsome nobleman. Lord Mandelton’s smoldering black eyes and the scar across his cheek mark him out as her future husband, as foretold her by a gypsy fortune-teller four years earlier.

But is fickle Lord Mandelton truly her destiny? Or can charming, clever Lord Silverton, a man with a secret he cannot reveal, persuade Kitty that a much more exciting future lies with him?

When Kitty is embroiled in the machinations of her half-sister Araminta, who needs a scapegoat for some very serious misdemeanors, she’s plunged into a world of traitors and deceit.

Can dashing Lord Silverton extricate her, or is he the wickedest of them all?
