Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman

Book 2 in the Maggie Almond series is a sexy and romantic tale of historical fiction that poses the question: are appearances always deceiving?

When Maggie Almond moves with William to Country Durham in the north of England, she hopes to leave the devastating events of her last summer in London behind her.  

But despite the challenges, hardship, and bitter prejudice she faced as a career woman in Victorian London, Maggie soon yearns for the vibrancy of the capital and the sense she is making a difference to the women’s movement. Overriding her feeling of uselessness is a more powerful undercurrent of unease in her relationship with William. He longs to marry and start a family. Maggie is terrified of losing herself and her independence if she does.  

Her restlessness quickly evaporates with the arrival of three unexpected faces in the small mining community – Maggie’s literary hero, her former nemesis, and the new owner of the beleaguered Stanley Pit, Matthew Drummond.

All bring with them an expectation of renewal and positive change. But Maggie soon finds herself locked in a devastating battle to safeguard the future of her new home and her principles, and she quickly learns there are very few people who don’t wear a mask.

Steamy, swoon worthy and shamelessly feminist, Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman is perfect for fans of Bridgerton and the books of Evie Dunmore.
