Headliners and Heartstrings-The Marquess's Masked Archer

A hidden identity. A relentless marquess. And a summer where love could expose everything. When Cleveland society parades debutante Sylvie Bryce before another string of unsuitable suitors, she secretly claims the one thing no one can arrange for her-a life of her own. Hidden beneath a green velvet hood and emerald mask, she becomes the mysterious Lady Robin, a daring trick-shot archer who captivates the crowds at Cedar Point resort. It's the one place where Sylvie answers to no one. The last thing she needs is a charming English marquess threatening to unravel everything she has worked so hard to build. Miles Wentworth didn't come to Ohio looking for love. He came to study insects, escape the shadow of a devastating scandal, and prove that a man can build a life on his own terms. But a chance encounter with a boldly independent woman-first in a glittering ballroom, and then behind the mask of a legendary archer-upends every carefully laid plan. Determined to protect her, even from himself, Miles steps into a dangerous game of secrets and deception-one that draws them closer with every anonymous letter and stolen moment...even as the truth has the power to ruin them both. A richly atmospheric Gilded Age romance brimming with wit, hidden identities, and the tender courage it takes to love without pretense-a tale of a sharp-shooting socialite, a science-minded lord, and the summer of secrets that will change them both forever. Perfect for fans of Jen Turano and Roseanna M. White.
