Emily's Unmasking

When an arrogant man struts away with the tome Emily Coldpepper is prepared to purchase, she makes a complete ninny of herself while trying to retrieve it. After her humiliating debacle, she must avoid the handsome book thief at all costs. Alexander Beckett, the heir to the Chesterhill Marquessate, is frustrated with his life. His father is ill, his sister is depressed, his stepmother is pure trouble-making evil, and the title-seeking, brainless chits paraded in front of him are siphoning his vigor. The moment he sees the awkward, hazel-eyed woman at his favorite bookshop, he is besotted. When Alexander and Emily attend the same masquerade ball, sparks fly, romance ensues, and two lonely souls work together to achieve their happily ever after.
