Jack of Diamonds by Bryce Courtenay

Can the Ladies' Wagering Whist Society help a young woman with a dark secret allow light and love into her heart?

Lydia Sheffield is always laughing, always joking, always charming, always surrounded by adoring gentlemen. She wants to enjoy the season, and not yield to Regency society's expectation that she quickly marry and have children. She also has a secret lurking within her-one that will keep her from ever taking a risk on love.

Lord John Welles has a secret of his own, but Lydia has discovered it. She noticed what no one else did, that this attractive, upstanding gentleman is filching diamonds from unsuspecting ladies. Lydia extracts a price for her silence-a fake engagement to her for the season. John never expected to want to make the arrangement real, nor that Lydia would be so dead-set against it. There's something she's not telling him, and he's determined to find out what it is.

Can John discover Lydia's secret in time to save his heart from breaking? He'll need to convince her to take a chance on love, on life. and on him. It will take the Ladies' Wagering Whist Society to help John win his diamond.
