A Disastrous Masquerade - E-book - ePub

After the Hemlock family is ruined, Wren finds herself working at a gentlemen's tea shop, where she meets the Duke, Seth Northmire. And when the competition threatens their home, the two form an unlikely team to protect what they love most: their home, livelihoods, and those they hold dearly. From the streets to the Duke's estate, Wren can hardly believe her eyes. But she'd better believe it to play the role of a Duke's wife.
With scrutiny from every angle, it's hard to determine whether the Duke's affections are for show or truth. Look a little harder, and you'd swear the Duke is hiding an even bigger secret. With her heart fluttering in uncertainty and developing feelings, it doesn't help to have the biggest competitors in town judging your every move - the prestigious family, house Blanchard. Between the most ambitious family in town and the royal family's overbearing watch, it couldn't get any more stressful.
But who isn't hiding a secret? There's a runaway princess in town; those two are having an affair, and the priest is being too quiet. No one is quite who they seem to be, and Wren is dying to ease the pressure off herself and the Duke. A carefully plotted plan to tip the scales in their favor will set their deadly truths free for the world to judge; may she have mercy upon the guilty.
