What would you do if you knew you wouldn't get caught?

Isla Foster and Colin Jackman are strangers. Slaves to the daily grind of life, they each receive an anonymous invitation to a masquerade ball — one of the most prestigious events in New York City. There they are given lavish costumes, false identities and an opportunity to take part in a seductive game.

If they accept, for one year they will meet in a series of secret rendezvouses designed to let them escape reality, consequence free. No one will ever find out where they go or what they do, as long as they follow three simple rules:

What could possibly go wrong?

Masquerade is a romantic suspense told in 12 parts. It's been designed for busy people who love to read but find they have little time due to work and family obligations. Each part is about the length of a glass of wine, a soak in the tub or an evening commute.

Indulge in a little escape from the everyday. Read these books alone or with your partner and ask yourselves, what would you do if you knew you wouldn't get caught?

You'll be hooked from the opening scene." - Victoria Barbour, USA Today Bestselling Author

A Selection of Amazon Reviews

"Absolutely phenomenal. Each part is better written than the last. The depth of the characters and the complexity and (at the same time) simplicity of the story for these two souls is off the charts. Truly offers the complex answer to the question,'What would you do if you wouldn't be caught?'."

"I enjoyed this book as another fun diversion from my busy life."

"It has excellent characterization and I was pulled into the story, intrigued to know what would happen next."

"Absolutely love this format of delivery for a book. Oh Masquerade you have my attention now! I voluntarily reviewed this book."

"I really like this book. The characters were believable, the story had some mystery and I liked where the series was going to go with the Masquerade themes. I especially liked how this story was 'as long as a glass of wine'. I didn't test that but it was as long as a short stint on the beach. Now I want to see what happens in the next few stories!"

"This first installment hooked me in every way: interesting opening, great detail, fully-fleshed major characters, each with a problematical life situation and minus my pet peeve — poor editing. This installment is expertly written AND edited, so there are no grammatical errors or typos to weaken/distract from the story. Kudos to Ms. Francis. I look forward to reading more!"

"What a fun escape these first two books are! I just finished part 2 and am left hanging in suspense and anxiously awaiting part 3 to be delivered. This is a unique way to read for me and I love it. Come on part 3!!!!!!!!!"
