Amazing but True: Belle of the Ball

By Laura K Marshall

With echoes of the dark thing still ringing in her ears, Clara and the Captain travel to Charleston, NC to attend a mid-night ball hosted at one of the most prestigious estates in town. Clara is mistaken for the daughter of the newly elected president of the confederacy, which causes many interesting situations to occur. But not everything is at it seems with Mr. Pettygrove, the host of the evening. When Clara takes it upon herself to find out his true motives she quickly loses control of the situation and finds herself in a position she is not equipped to handle.

The interest Mr. Pettygrove shows in Clara is only a means to get to the Captain and his unique skills to acquire items from far away and exotic locations. Clara’s knowledge of the men’s mysterious expedition in Africa only makes her more suspicious of Mr. Pettygrove and his true motives.

This is the seventh installment of the Amazing but True Series and is a short story adventure. Get caught up in the excitement of time travel to historic and exotic locations. And the possibility of romance is always an option.
