The Lion's Skin

Justin Caryll is the perfect English gentleman--honorable, brave, loyal, intelligent--except for the fact that he is the illegitimate son of the Earl of Ostermore and the Earl's true heir is determined to destroy his reputation. Enemies for years, Caryll and Lord Ostermore come face to face once more and become locked in a battle of revenge, jealousy and greed.
