Midsummer Night's Desire

Banished from Queen Elizabeth's court for a murder he didn't commit, Nicholas Leighton was thrust into the dangerous and deceptive world of London's theater, where shimmering illusions defied the senses and false identities were commonplace. Betrayed by the golden beauty he had pursued, Nicholas vowed he would trust no woman, until lovely young Alandra Thatcher saved his life. Her purity touched his heart, making him loath to take the gift of innocence she offered. But in the heat of their midsummer night's desire, all scruples were laid aside as Nicholas and Alandra tasted the sweet ecstasy of a love more exciting than any staged masquerade.
