About this ebook
As a child, shy, bookish Elizabeth Anne Fitzgerald loses her heart to the dashing young lord Tyrell de Warenne. Although she is well aware that he is the heir to an earldom and utterly unattainable, Lizzie secretly worships him for years. So on the night of her first masquerade ball, she is stunned when he suggests that they rendezvous at midnight!
But fortune takes a maddening turn and Lizzie is thwarted from ever meeting Tyrell. Though she is certain such an opportunity will never arise again, in fact that night is just the beginning
Tyrell de Warenne is shocked when, two years later, Lizzie arrives on his doorstep with a child that she claims is his. He remembers her well–and knows that it is impossible that he is the boy's father. What is this game she is playing and why? Is Elizabeth Anne Fitzgerald a woman of vast experience, or the gentle innocent he had believed her to be?
Tyrell decides he will play her game, claiming the child as his own and determined to uncover Lizzie's lies. But neither scandal nor deception nor pride can thwart a love too grand and passionate to ever be denied

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the first book I've read by Brenda Joyce and I loved it! I loved Lizzie's character and how she wasn't interested in high society things and fashion but instead wanted to stay in and read all day. So many people can connect with her personality and her crush on someone she has barely even talked to. Oh yes, her crush on Tyrell is COMPLETELY understandable. He is so charming, good looking, and an overall prefect guy. He's always there to save Lizzie, even though she won't admit to him her attraction. The story did have it's slow points and I did think it was drawn out a little too much, but the romance and attraction between Lizzie and Tyrell was so enjoyable to read. I hated Anna and how she ruined everyone else's lives in her family except for her own and she still got a perfectly happy life. But that aspect just brought out the best in Lizzie and brought even more love into her life. The Masquerade just fed more into my addiction for historical romances and I know this won't be the last book I'm going to read of Brenda Joyce's.
