A Noble Masquerade
Book 1 of the Hawthorne House series
365 pages · First published 2015
Lady Miranda Hawthorne outwardly follows every rule of Regency society while privately pouring her rebellious thoughts into unsent letters addressed to her brother’s old school friend, a duke she has never met. Her brother’s suspicious new valet, Marlow, accidentally sends one of those letters, beginning an unexpected correspondence with the duke even as Miranda grows increasingly drawn to the servant in front of her. The apparent triangle becomes entangled with secrets, espionage, and identities that are not what they seem. This Regency romantic mystery combines letters, class barriers, and undercover intrigue with a heroine trying to determine which version of a man—and of herself—she can trust.
