Unseen one night. That’s all Miss Penelope Ashurst wants away from the strict decorum of Regency society. Donning a mask and attending a forbidden masquerade, she meets the man of her dreams. Then, before she discovers his identity, she is kidnapped.
From their first encounter, his goddess in a golden mask stirs a deep and different longing within Ranulph, the Earl of Monfort. When she disappears, he vows he will find her no matter the cost. Soon it’s a race against time, and the kidnappers are just the start. Penelope and Ranulf’s very lives are in jeopardy. Before the end, everything will be stripped away, and Penelope and Runulf will be more than just face to face. But this is true love, and nothing will stop it.
