Sparkling Regency Romance from a Captivating New Voice Woman Miranda Hawthorne acts every inch the girl, but inside she longs to become bold and carefree. Entering her fourth Period and nearing spinsterhood in the eye of culture, she pours her innermost feelings out not within a diary but in words to her brother’s outdated college friend, a duke-with no intention of ever sending these personal thoughts to a guy she’s heard stories about but never met. On the other hand, she also finds herself intrigued by about A Noble Masquerade Marlow, her brother’s fresh valet, and even though she may decide to get away from the strictures that bind her, falling in love with a servant is definitely more of the rebellion than she planned. When Marlow unintentionally discovers and mails among the letters to her unwitting confidant, Miranda is certainly beyond mortified. And even more shocked when the duke results her notice with one of is own very own that initiates a courtship-by-mail. Insecurity about her lack of suitors shifts into dilemma at her developing feelings for just two men-one she’s never fulfilled but whose phrases deeply resonate with her heart, and one she’s come to depend on but whose behavior is normally more and more dubious. When it turns into apparent condition secrets are in risk and Marlow is certainly best in the heavy from the conflict, one thing is certain: Miranda’s center is far from all that’s at risk for the Hawthornes and those they love.
