About Stars in My Heart

Back Cover text: "The Counterfeit Empress" "An amazing resemblance to the beautiful Empress Elizabeth of Austria led Gisela into a strange assignment--to pose as the empress for a visit to the aging Lord Quenby, so that Elizabeth would not have to interrupt her hunting in the English countryside. But there was a new Lord Quenby in residence at Hawke castle--a dark, arrogant young man who responded immediately to her beauty. Realizing that the love she prized so much was meant for the empress, Gisela knew she must not see him again. Was it fate that put an obstacle in her path as she ran blindly away?"
