USA Today-Bestselling Author: Itâs easy to be daring when youâre in disguiseâbut what happens when the masks come off? Ella Quinnâs bachelors are quite sure of what they want in lifeâand loveâuntil the right woman opens their eyes . . . After a painful heartbreak, Rupert, the handsome young Earl of Stanstead, has decided that when it comes to love, avoidance is best. Until he meets a woman who makes him forget his planâand remember his longing for a wife and family. Yet he senses that she too has been hurt, though she attempts to hide her feelingsâand moreâin the most baffling and alluring way. Intrigued, Rupert is willing to play along, if winning her is the prize . . . Crushed by her late husbandâs scorn, Vivian, Countess of Beresford, believes she is monstrously undesirable. Sadly childless, she has moved to London resigned to a solitary life. Still, when she encounters Rupert at a masquerade ball, her disguise as Cleopatra emboldens her. Convinced he doesnât recognize her, she begins an after-hours affair with him, always in costumeâwhile allowing him to innocently court the real her by day. But when Rupert makes a shocking choice, will Vivian be able to handle the truth?
