These Old Shades
by Georgette Heyer
“In a world of glittering deception, the ultimate revenge is an affair of the heart.”
When the cold and cynical Duke of Avon rescues a bedraggled street urchin, he expects a pawn for his games of vengeance, not a spirited noblewoman in disguise. As their worlds collide amidst the opulent scandals of 18th-century high society, a dangerous game of wit and hidden identities evolves into a romance that defies every rule.
