The Masquerade by Lydia Pembroke
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.1 MB
Overview: A Lady ignored by society, a Lord about to be betrothed, a Masquerade Ball where deception and betrayal bring them together, but when all is revealed, will love triumph?
Lady Catherine St. Claire is doomed to a life on the edges of society, for, despite her excellent parentage, she is cursed with a large birthmark which disfigures her face. Her companion, Emma, hopes to give her one taste of what life might be like, without that impediment. At a Masquerade event, at a house party, Catherine disappears, and is replaced by the mysterious Lady Annabelle Seaton. As Lady Annabelle, her entire face hidden by the intricate mask, Catherine experiences the delight of being sought after, and flattered. But the masquerade must end…
Lord Edward Gillingham, second son of the Duke of Crowley, is to be betrothed to Miss Letitia Fitzwilliam, by the house party’s end. It is a business alliance, not a love match, and Edward has some doubts – doubts which are vastly deepened when he meets, and is captivated by, the mysterious Lady Annabelle Seaton. Miss Fitzwilliam is both jealous, and desperate – for her heart is given elsewhere, impossibly.
When circumstances unveil betrayals, as well as Catherine’s deception, promises are broken, and lives left in ruin.
Will Edward see the truth of Catherine? Or will he be blinded by society’s expectations? Will Catherine find a path to happiness, despite everything? Or is their love doomed from the start?
