Crystal — Helen Ashfield

DID THIS BEAUTIFUL WAIF DARE TO LOVE A LORD?

Crystal Yorke's desperate flight from London's vilest slum left her trembling and faint in a shop frequented by the gentlemen of the ton. Even beneath layers of soot, her fiery hair and emerald eyes shone so brightly that the kindly storekeeper took her in...and made her his helper the day Stuart Haversham, Earl of Melfort, walked through the shop door.

Crystal's dazzling beauty blinded the handsome nobleman, and from first glance, Crystal forever lost her heart. His burning kisses demanded she become his secret lover, though she was too humbly born to be his lawful wife. But her loveliness was about to entrap her in an enemy's daring deception -- a masquerade that could cost her Melfort's love and make her the hit of the London season and a Lady even a Lord could wed!
