A plan for revenge becomes entangled with unexpected desire American Eva Westbrook has had enough of English aristocrats looking down their snooty noses at her. Among these elite nobles is her neighbor, Peter Hartigan—a charming rake with a devilish smile and a scandalous reputation. She's convinced he played a role in her cousin's very public humiliation a few years ago, and she's carried the sting of that betrayal ever since. Now, with an opportunity too tempting to resist, Eva disguises herself as a mysterious masked woman and sneaks into the opulent masquerade ball Peter is hosting. Her goal is simple: make him fall under her spell, then expose him as the cad she believes he is. But the game is more dangerous than she imagined. Peter is unexpectedly attentive, disarmingly sincere, and far more complicated than his rakish façade suggests. As the night deepens and their encounters grow more intense, Eva is torn between the need to uphold her charade and the yearning that flares every time he looks at her—not with arrogance, but with genuine interest. The midnight waltz draws them closer, each step a push and pull between secrets and seduction. Eva struggles to protect her identity while her emotions betray her at every turn. Meanwhile, Peter is captivated by the alluring stranger who seems familiar and elusive—and he's determined to uncover the truth behind her mask. One reckless night could ruin them both… or lead to a love neither saw coming. |
