Unmasked
by Virginia Henley
New York Times bestselling author Virginia Henley weaves an enchanting tale of passion and intrigue in England's Golden Age...
Thirteen years ago, Alex Greysteel Montgomery, an Earl and double agent—now working to restore King Charles II to the throne—was betrothed to the impetuous Velvet Cavendish. Their parents saw the engagement as a business opportunity—and although Greysteel has always had an affinity for Velvet, she has not returned his affections.
Once she is united with Greysteel, Velvet is determined to break their bond. She has had her sights set on none other than King Charles II since she was a young girl....and what ordinary man could compete? But Greysteel is equally determined to wed the fiery beauty who has stirred him like no other—and conquer and rule her heart...

Virginia Henley's Bio
I write lush and lusty historical romances in both hardcover and paperback. My authentic medievals, set in England, Ireland and Scotland have received critical acclaim and garnered many awards.
My great passion is HISTORY...however, I am a historical ROMANCE author, and that means the romance has to play a greater role than the history. Because my books contain so much heavy, authentic history, they have to have an extremely sensual romance to offset and balance the story. I take a solid chunk of meticulously researched history and blend it with a hot, erotic love story, or sometimes I even use two couples. My heroes are dark, dominant and dangerous, and my heroines are always a match for them!
My readers have come to expect a certain level of lust when they buy a Virginia Henley, and I never want to disappoint my readers! When I weave a tapestry of history combined with hot sensuality, it's like magic; it's a one-two punch that satisfies the reader, and satisfying my readers is my number one goal.
