Shadow Dance — 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 Romney's 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.

Hero: Valerian Romney
Heroine: Sophie de Quincey
