Painted Veil
A quiet, refined widow who will do anything to regain custody of her young daughter; a wickedly dangerous hero tormented by memories of his mother's brutal murder during the Reign of Terror; and a city paralyzed by a swift and silent murderer known only as The Hook are the key ingredients in this well-crafted historical set in London during the Regency period. Vivid description, sexual tension, and believable characters enhance this story, which provides glimpses of the darker side of Regency life as well as the glittering social whirl of the ton (society). Carroll's previous romances include The Valentine's Day Ball (Fawcett, 1994).Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
