**PLEASE NOTE: This is the JUST GOOD CLEAN FUN version of A MASQUERADE IN THE MOONLIGHT by New York Times bestselling romance author Kasey Michaels**

Marguerite Balfour lived an enchanted life as the beloved daughter of her soft-spoken mother and her adored father, a dreamer who filled her young life with hope and wonder. Anything was possible in Marguerite’s life. Until the day her father died while she was in her young teems and her mother all but retreated from life. Marguerite carried on, trying to live by the words her father taught her, until everything she’d believed in came crashing down when her mother whispered into her ear as she was dying.

Now Marguerite is a young woman out for revenge, and a year after her mother’s passing, she and her grandfather head to London for her Come-out. At least that’s what her grandfather believes. Marguerite is there with exquisitely planned revenges on the five men she believes responsible for her parents’ deaths.

Thomas Joseph Donovan is also in London. He is there on a mission from President Madison. He is to meet with and discuss strategies with a group of men who had put forth a plan to prevent what seems now to be an inevitable war with the young country. But everywhere he goes, it seems that Marguerite is there ahead of him. Beautiful, intelligent, apparently conniving Marguerite Balfour.

They each have their own secret agendas, they each have their own reasons, with one out to disgrace and destroy, the other out to decide if his country should become involved in the Englishmen’s plot.

They each are very much in the other’s way, especially when their mutual attraction threatens to make Thomas suspicious of the men he has come to see. As one after the other, they appear to fall into disgrace, he comes to believe there can be only one person who could be pulling the strings, making the puppets dance to her tune. Marguerite.

But why? Follow along as Marguerite’s well-laid plans unfold, as Donovan can only try to earn her trust, becoming more concerned for her safety with every passing day.

Watch as two very different people learn to look not just with their eyes and minds, but to look again, this time with their hearts…

"Using wit and romance with a master's skill, Kasey Michaels aims for the heart and never misses." -- #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Nora Roberts

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021
This book is an excellent example of Ms. Michaels's work. It is intricately plotted, meticulously researched, absorbingly romantic, bitingly witty, and completely engrossing. Very few authors are capable of turning out historical romances with so many facets. I have the original version of this book, so I was able to compare the new one to it. Not only are the sexy parts removed, but a few conversations are clarified with small bits of additional dialogue. The narrator for the audiobook does a fantastic job. I don't know how he managed all those accents (particularly Thomas's blended accent) and a character with an injured jaw. His performance added an extra dimension of reality to a story that feels like it could have happened in truth. I can't recommend this highly enough.
