The Maggie Almond Series: Book 2
Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman
Historical fiction: Book 2 of The Maggie Almond Series - $7.99
A romantic tale of historical fiction that poses the question: are appearances always deceiving?
When Maggie moves with William to County Durham in the north of England, she hopes to leave the devastating events of last summer in London behind.
But despite the challenges, hardship, and bitter prejudice she faced in Victorian London, Maggie yearns for the vibrancy of the capital and the sense she is making a difference. Overriding that is a more powerful undercurrent of unease in her relationship. William longs to marry and start a family. Maggie is terrified of losing herself and her independence.
Her restlessness evaporates with the arrival of three unexpected faces in the small mining community – Maggie’s literary hero, her former nemesis, and the new owner of the beleaguered Stanley Pit, Matthew Drummond.
All bring an expectation of renewal and change. But Maggie soon finds herself locked in a devastating battle to safeguard the future of her new home and her principles, learning there are few people who don’t wear a mask.
Steamy, swoon worthy and shamelessly feminist, Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman is perfect for fans of Bridgerton and the books of Evie Dunmore.
Before I had finished writing book one, I’d already begun researching number two in the series – Maggie Almond and the Masked Woman. I’d established in Scandalous Sister that Maggie’s literary hero was George Eliot, an authoress with values and ideals so like her own. What better writer to introduce into Maggie’s storyline than Eliot? Also, the setting for Masked Woman, County Durham, is not only William’s birthplace, but it’s where my mother’s family comes from, too. Like William’s, my family were colliers and my grandmother’s tales from her childhood, about living in a mining village, were always humorous, engaging and steeped in tension.
