Secrets of a Lady, apa Daughter of the Game, features Charles and Mélanie Fraser, who later morph into Malcom and Suzanne Rannoch, in this series by Teresa/Tracy Grant. Grant's website says that Secrets was the first one she wrote, but it is not the first in chrono order any more. (See this previous post for a bit more info.) I've read and quite enjoyed all ??? the titles in this series, although it's hard to keep track because Teresa/Tracy doesn't write in chronological order, and, of course, you also have the changing names to keep track of. But still an enjoyable series IMO. Secrets has dropped to $3.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Spoiler:

In the glittering world of Regency London, where gossip is exchanged—and reputations ruined—with the tilt of a fan, Mélanie Fraser is the perfect wife. Devoted to her husband, Charles, the grandson of a duke, she is acknowledged as society's most charming hostess. But just as the elegant façade of Regency London hides a dark side, Mélanie is not what she seems. She has a secret: one that could destroy her perfect jewel-box life forever . . . and the cost to keep it is an exquisite heirloom ring surrounded by legend and power. The search for it will pull Mélanie and Charles into a gritty underworld of gin-soaked brothels, elegant gaming hells, and debtors' prisons. In this maze of intrigue, deception is second nature and betrayal can come far too easily . . .
