Shadow Dance (An Avon Romantic Treasure)

Anne Stuart

Wrongly accused of his father's murder, handsome Valerian Romney must flee his vengeful pursuers—ingeniously disguised as his older brother Phelan's "wife." But desire endangers the Romneys' brazen masquerade. For ruffles and lace cannot hide Valerian's fevered passion for the lovely and confused Sophie—while Phelan yearns for the tormented beauty, Juliette, who has dressed in man's clothing to escape a heartless abuser. And now both peril and ecstasy await them all as they move in a seductive dance of deception—where every false, protective mask must ultimately be stripped away...to reveal the true, radiant and rapturous love beneath.
