Book Details

GENRE: Historical Romance

BLURB:
Miranda Harlake's only chance to escape the detestable match her parents are arranging is a sham betrothal to her best friend, Peter, who proposes solely to save her from a loveless marriage. She gratefully accepts, though both know they'll never wed.
Piqued by her parents'scheming, Miranda secretly attends a masked ball and dances with a fascinating stranger all night. Upon discovering her partner was the insufferable George Rockford, she tries to forget the romantic evening they shared.
George, lonely despite his popularity and roguish ways, is intrigued by Miranda but she's apparently immune to his charms.
Miranda must listen to her heart and find courage to be honest with everyone—especially herself—if for once she's going to fulfill her own dreams.

Excerpt One:

Miranda fidgeted with her fan as she and Peter made their slow way up the Rockfords’ torchlit
drive. Ahead, costumed guests climbed the stairs and disappeared into the elegant manor.
When they at last came to a halt, Peter opened the door and helped Miranda out.
“I’ll meet you inside after I settle the horses,” he said.
Miranda clutched his arm. “No, we’re supposed to go in together.”
“I need to see to the carriage. I forgot about that when I devised this plan.”

“But—”
“You’ll be fine. Arriving alone will give you an even greater air of mystery.”
Not seeing any other option, she reluctantly let go of his sleeve. “Don’t be long.”
“I won’t.” He jumped into the driver’s seat and gave her a wave before driving away.
Miranda hesitated at the foot of the long staircase, debating about whether or not to just step
onto the lawn to wait for Peter. But then she realized she was blocking the way for people
behind her. Mustering her nerve, she climbed the stairs with the chattering crowd.
Once inside, she looked for a place to wait for Peter. Miranda didn’t want to go too far into the
house, as it would be easy to miss each other in the throng. She found an alcove off to the side
of the front doors with a window affording a good view of the drive.
Miranda had just turned to look out the window again when she felt someone step into the
alcove behind her.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:

Kate Ellington grew up in a woodsy New England town where summer days at the lake seemed
to last forever. She read her first historical romance at age eleven when a teacher challenged
her to find a book in the library written by an author she’d never heard of. Thus began a life-long
love of love stories.
After graduating from college with an art degree she settled in the Pacific Northwest, where she
currently resides with her family.
Kate wrote her first romance when she was sixteen, then set her pen down for years until
another story floated into her head out of the clear blue sky. She jotted it down, just for fun, but
soon it took on a life of its own.
