Description
The beautiful and wealthy Leonie Mandeville has fallen madly in love and plans to elope against her father’s wishes. But when her plans are thrown into jeopardy, she persuades her lifelong friend, Cleona Howard, to take her place in London as the guest of her grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Lynke, who has not seen either girl since childhood.
Overnight, the vicar’s daughter becomes the wealthy granddaughter of a duchess. But what begins as an exhilarating masquerade soon takes an unexpected turn. A ghost haunts her bedroom, the Duchess’s grandson, the Duke, is a drunken gambler, and before long Cleona finds herself swept into a perilous adventure that takes her to Paris and a meeting with Bonaparte himself.
With her deception threatening to unravel at every turn, the stakes are higher than she could have imagined — not only for Cleona, but perhaps for the future of England.
A thrilling tale of romance, deception, loyalty and adventure, where nothing is quite what it seems and where love and courage ultimately triumph.
