Masked Pain

As seen in the book set Under the Mask!

Ariel has to choose between duty to her children and her own happiness.

With a heart torn, Ariel went to the masquerade ball alone. There, a mysterious man asks her to dance. Every part of her is wary as much as she is excited. Then he disappeared.

Ancient runes, hidden passageways, mysterious stranger, and a masquerade ball? Ariel's head swam with the surreal feeling swamping her senses. A few small steps and she'd found her way into another room...with people fully dressed for the Regency period. Awed and bemused by the attention to detail, she tried to find out who they were only to find out that she'd somehow traveled back in time!

There she finds the Lord Montgomery. In another time, Ariel allows herself to forget about her cares and responsibilities. The months pass, and Ariel falls more and more in love with him. But, can they have their happy ever after while her kids were a century away?

Lord Montgomery despaired of ever finding a woman to love him for himself. Then, like his own miracle, Ariel comes into his life. Can he convince her that his love is worth staying in his own time? Did he want to when it would mean she would never see her children again? Could he give up his own chance at happiness?
