LEE, ELSIE — The Wicked Guardian

New York, Dell. 1973, 1st Pbk Ed.. Pbk. Book, Nothing seemed more unpleasant to lovely, dark-haired Miss Araminta Surtaine than a coach journey with her unctuous guardian, Lord Robert Eddystone. Still, she had no choice but to accompany him. Her eighteenth birthday, which would entitle her to the extraordinary Surtaine fortune, and freedom, was still two weeks away. But when Araminta realized that Lord Robert planned to force her into marrying his repugnant son, she resolved to risk death to avoid the fate. And so it was that she flung herself from his speeding carriage into darkness and awoke in a camp of gypsies,her memory gone, her name changed, and her future as mysterious and exciting as the roguishly handsome stranger there whose true identity was as dangerous to reveal as Araminta's own... Very Good.
