A Bold Masquerade
When Andrew Weston, the reckless Marquess of Sandhurst, is forced by King Henry VIII into an arranged marriage with a young French widow, he conceives a bold masquerade to outwit the king. Disguised as a humble portrait painter, Andrew travels to the French court of François Ist to have a look at his would-be bride.
Betrayed by her dead husband, Micheline Tevoulère has given up on love...and so she reluctantly agrees to wed an unseen English nobleman. Yet, when she sits for a portrait by a dashing artist with tender eyes, her heart begins to thaw.
As passion blooms, Andrew refuses to reveal his true identity unless Micheline renounces her betrothal to the wealthy and powerful Marquess of Sandhurst... even though he is his own rival!
In this novel of irresistible passion, New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Wright illuminates the world of Tudor England and France.
Author's Note: Andrew & Micheline return in QUEST OF THE HIGHLANDER!
