Сказка о принце, который казался всем темным и неразговорчивым, была прекрасным началом для любовной истории. Но оказалось, что этот таинственный парень не такой уж простой, ведь он — принц, за которым охотятся ужасные злодеи. Он прячется, чтобы остаться в безопасности, но встреча с прелестной девушкой Дулси Сэмапс заставляет его выйти из тени и показать свое лицо. Несмотря на то, что его внешность испорчена шрамами после нападения, он находит красоту внутри девушки. Тогда начинается роман, который обещает стать захватывающим приключением.
Christine Rimmer's The Man Behind The Mask is the story of Lady Dulcie Sample, newly arrived from London to take her place in Norwich society with her young daughter, Grace. Dulcie soon discovers that a masked killer has begun attacking gentleman clubs and dinners and blackmailing their patrons with sinister demands written in blood.
Sinking into obscurity, Lady Dulcie waits for her chance to confront her mysterious harasser until opportunity presents itself in the form of a rash attempt on the life of elegant Lord Valbrand. It's her mere sight that finally scares the reclusive killer from his hideout, out onto the streets.
But'who knows what lurks in the heart of such a monster.' Valbrand is not prepared for the hopeful stare of Lady Dulcie's inviting hazel eyes or the sheer innocence of her globe-trotting urchin. He's disgusted by his own predatory impulse before his old self had even emerged from the shadows. Perhaps Dulcie, bearing the key not only to Valbrand's zombified heart but to the kingdom as well, might be the match for this mystery man. Or so Valbrand thinks.
He could feel that she knew him for more than he thought possible.

Описание книги от Christine Rimmer
He had been in hiding for years, but the sight of Dulcie Samples, with her girl-next-door appeal, was enough to finally draw Prince Valbrand into the light.Yet Valbrand, whose face–not to mention spirit–had taken a serious hit from the assassination attempt that had driven him underground, was sworn to spend all the rest of his days hunting down the enemies who had done this to him. And even if he had the time for love, who could see past his scarred face to the man inside? Certainly not the beautiful Dulcie….Or so Valbrand thought. But despite the darkness and mystery that surrounded him, Dulcie knew that the half-masked man before her was her destiny. Now, if only she could convince him that she held both the key to his heart and his kingdom in her trembling hands….
