Masque of Deceptions

Had it not been for the scent bottles, it is unlikely that Daniel Shelbourne, Viscount Reculver, and Anna Hawthorne of Hawthorne’s Porcelain would ever have met.

Daniel’s late father left him an impoverished estate – which he had expected – and unexplained debts, which he hadn’t.

Anna inherited a thriving business, along with the knowledge and passion required to run it.

Daniel needs money quickly if his family is to avoid ruin. Anna wants to create a tribute to her father’s vision and skill. He is desperate; she, astute and determined.

So when Anna hears whispers that Lord Reculver is discreetly selling some of his possessions, she remembers the large collection of scent bottles purchased from Hawthorne’s over the years … all of them designed by her father.

They are exactly what she needs. Moreover, selling them to her will give his lordship some of what he needs. All she has to do, therefore, is make him a reasonable offer.

Simple. Or is it?

“Delightful characters and a believable story. I'm in love with Daniel and Alex Wyndham is superb as always.”

“I had forgotten how good a narrator Alex Wyndham is. I sometimes had to back-track due to listening to the performance rather than to the storyline.”
