Beguiled The Masqueraders Series - Book Three

Everything has a price — except for love, and revenge… "Laura Parker's innovativeness and beautiful style of writing keep her a head above the rest." — Affaire de Coeur In the darkest hours of her life, disgraced heiress Philadelphia Hunt is approached by a handsome stranger, a Brazilian jewel-miner named Eduardo Tavares. He makes an outrageous proposition—disguise herself and join him in a devious con to swindle America’s upper crust out of their riches. Philadelphia is desperate, and intrigued, by both this enchanting stranger and his promises of her return to high society. But a deeper masquerade is afoot. Little does Philadelphia know that the man responsible for her father’s disgrace and suicide is Eduardo himself, the very man in whose arms she is discovering the scorching heat of desire. And little does Eduardo know that Philadelphia’s thirst for vengeance cannot be quenched. Nor can their passion, as secrets and betrayals set this pair of lovers on a path that will lead to a new life—or to their destruction… "Parker has fun with her characters and their assumed personae, and her love scenes successfully evoke an air of sensuality." — Publisher's Weekly
