Masquerade
at Middlecrest Abbey is a regency romance, wrapped around a really good
mystery. Unwed mother, Elizabeth Cantrell and her young son are traveling to
her new job as a ladies’ companion after being left penniless by her now
imprisoned brother. During the journey their coach is attacked by a highwayman
who is not what he seems. In fact he is the widowed Lord Torrington, acting on
behalf of the British crown. He is searching for documents he believed were
being carried in that carriage. Instead of the documents Lord Torrington finds
an unconscious woman he feels compelled to help.
To protect both his secret
identify and Elizabeth’s name, Torrington proposes a marriage of convenience.
Soon after the newly married couple’s return to Middlecrest Abbey, the intended
of Torrington’s eldest daughter is murdered and the hunt is on for the murderer
and the missing document. Could the two things be connected? The future of
England is at stake. At the same time Elizabeth is protecting a secret of her own,
her son is actually Lord Torrington’s nephew!
