New York Times best-selling author Virginia Henley's sizzling romances have garnered numerous accolades, including the Romantic Times Lifetime Achievement Award. In Unmasked, Henley fashions a tale of desire and intrigue set amid England's 17th-century royal court. When Velvet Cavendish and Greysteel Montgomery are betrothed by their parents, the union seems doomed from the start. Not only is the impetuous Velvet averse to Montgomery's swaggering charms, but she favors Charles Stuart, the exiled heir to the throne. "Virginia Henley writes the kind of books you simply can't stop reading." -Bertrice Small
