The time and place is Bath in the last years of the Regency. The social
rounds of Bath -- the dances, the teas, the mornings in the Pump Room.
The lady of quality is Miss Annis Wychwood, rich, beautiful, independent,
and at twenty-nine, considered long past marriageable age. She lives in
her own house in Bath with an elderly and garrulous cousin, foisted on her
by her very correct brother, Sir Geoffrey Wychwood, to keep tongues from
wagging.
When Miss Wychwood agrees to take Lucilla Carleton, an engaging seventeen-
year-old heiress, under her wing, the arrangement is condemned by almost
everyone -- her scandalized chaperon, Sir Geoffrey, and Lord Beckenham, her
most persistent suitor. The only exception is Lucilla's guardian, Mr.
Oliver Carleton, known to all to be the rudest man in London. | | | |

MASQUE OF BETRAYAL,
by Kane, Andrea |
5.00
|
Jacqueline Holt was the challenge of a lifetime.
With midnight-blue eyes that could bring a man to his knees and proud ideals that gave no quarter, she openly defied Philadelphia's glittering society. Determined to fight against Federalist rule, the scandalously independent beauty championed her cause in a manner both dangerous and forbidden, undaunted even by the magnetic stranger who threatened her secret -- and her heart.
Dane Westbrooke never left a challenge unanswered.
Born an English nobleman, the charming, influential earl abandoned the peerage to become a staunch Federalist and member of Alexander Hamilton's inner circle. His relentless yearning for Jacqueline Holt threatened all reason, but he vowed to have her -- despite evidence branding her a traitor to their fledgling country. Torn between honor and betrayal, loyalty and desire, they would dare to forge their own destiny, divided by intrigue -- and consumed by love.
