Description
She was a lady's maid who longed to be a lady. How else could Lucy Balfour hope to win the favor of Andrew, Viscount Harvey, the toast of the town, who seemed ready to take a bride at last? There was only one way to command his attention, and it was an impossible dream. She must become the peer of her own mistress, the coldly beautiful Lady Angela, who was determined to claim Andrew for her own. Hamish MacGregor, the wily old butler, promised to make Lucy's dream come true. With her uncanny luck at baccarat, they would win a fortune. With his cunning, they would conquer London society as "father" and "daughter" and meet the king himself! Having served the rich, Hamish MacGregor would beat them at their own game. And having met Andrew Harvey, Lucy Balfour would never be a servant again.
