House of Masques

ebook

A dark secret hangs over her quest for justice...

Kathleen Donley steps off the train in Poughkeepsie, New York, with everything she has left in the world contained in a lone carpetbag, and one desire burning in her heart. To find Captain Charles Worthington, the man acquitted of murdering her brother during a pitched battle in Indian territory—and put him in a coffin.

Whispers of someone who could possibly aid her quest have lured her from her Ohio home, and indeed she finds herself in the lair of one Josiah Gorman. A man with a card file bursting with men and women who owe him their souls.

Trembling with fear and determination, Kathleen becomes one of them.

Josiah sends her forth armed with a silken wardrobe, a new name, and accompanied by Edward Allen, a man who guards a secret as deadly as the debt he owes Josiah. But once she sets foot on Worthington Estate, nothing is as it seems. And Kathleen finds herself facing the prospect of killing a man she doesn't hate...and falling for another man who is forbidden to love.

This Retro Romance reprint was originally published in 1975 by Ballantine.
