DANGEROUS MASQUERADE
Lady Lily Bedlington, the most beautiful woman at the Court of Edward VII, is terrified when her husband suspects her of having a love affair with the handsome young Duke of Roehampton. She is also furious when she learns that she has to act as chaperone to her husband's niece, an unknown girl from Ireland who has recently come into an immense fortune from an American godmother.
