Masquerade: The Complete Series

By Valerie Francis

What would you do if you knew you wouldn’t get caught?

Unwind with this steamy love story. Originally published as a serial, this boxed set contains all 12 parts of the story (available in digital and print formats); each one is about the length of a glass of wine or a soak in the tub.

Isla Foster and Colin Jackman are strangers. Desperate to escape the daily grind of life, they each accept an anonymous invitation to a masquerade ball — one of the most prestigious events in New York City. There they are given lavish costumes, false identities, and an opportunity to take part in a seductive game.

If they accept, using the aliases Grace and Marlowe, they’ll meet each month for a year in a series of secret rendezvous, consequence free. No one will ever know where they go or what they do, as long as they follow three simple rules:
1. they must never know the other’s identity
2. they must only meet at the prearranged times and places
3. they must not fall in love

What could possibly go wrong?
