A Historical Romance featuring: Strangers to lovers A midnight rendezvous A forgotten feather And an hour that changed everything Masks are something people wear when they don't wish to be found. Sunshine Price questioned the wisdom of showing up at a Christmas masquerade when she hadn't been to a public affair in five years. She had learned to trust the advice of her friends at the Wicked Widows' League. But when she finds herself caught up in a scandalous dare with a man she's never met, seen, or heard of, the idea of a reintroduction to society suddenly feels heartbreakingly foolish. Phineas Martin Blackmore, the newly minted Viscount Davies, has sworn off house parties, Almacks, the season—anything with fainting females, in exchange for the open sea. But the reckoning hour has come, and his aunts are determined to see him landbound until he secures a future for the viscountcy. He'll agree to attend a masquerade for their benefit, but he never expected to meet his match at midnight. Is she the stuff of dreams, or will Sunshine Price become his real-life siren's song? The greatest challenge isn't the unmasking hour; it's the hour that comes after.
