Kristi Ann Hunter - Előkelő álarcosbál (A Hawthorne-Ház 1.)

Lady Miranda Hawthorne behaves like a classy lady in every way, but in her soul she longs for courage and freedom. In the eyes of the actors of social life, the woman, who is already approaching old age, has been pouring out her innermost feelings in letters for many years, not in a diary. He writes the letters to his brother's old school friend, the Duke of Marshington. Having never actually met the man himself, he has no intention of sending the letters, and sinks in shame when his brother's mysterious new valet, Marlow, accidentally delivers a letter to the unsuspecting prince. Much to Miranda's dismay, such a breach of etiquette leads to a response from the prince and eventually leads to a lively correspondence. However, the young woman's self-doubt due to her previous lack of suitors soon turns to confusion when she realizes that she is at least as interested in Marlow as she is in the prince. The man, on the other hand, on whom she depends more and more, behaves more suspiciously every day. When the secret happenings on her family's estate come to light, one thing becomes certain: Miranda's heart is not the only one in danger around the family and their loved ones. "The Classy Masquerade Ball is a heart-filled, sweet, exciting story. From Kristi Ann Hunter, we've got a charming Regency story, complete with a feisty heroine, a disguised hero, and an intricate plot." - Jennifer McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author - Go deep!
