Must Reads: Characters In Disguise

I love novels featuring characters that are in disguise. It's doesn't matter whether it's a masquerade ball, a mistaken identity (twins!), or some great under cover escapade.  It's as if in the process of adopting another persona, the character feels free to explore and discover or reveal their true selves.

This latest installment of my must reads features my three favorite novels featuring characters in some sort of disguise. I love them so much I'm giving them away to one lucky winner of this week's contest with my pal  Caroline Linden.

Visit her website to share how you subtitle The Tattooed Duke to be eligible for a chance to win the three exquisite novels below. (And then head over to my contest page to subtitle Blame It On Bath and for a chance to win Caroline's favorite stories featuring widows.)

Duchess By Night by Eloisa James. An oh-so proper duchess disguises herself as a boy so she might attend the outrageous house party hosted by the delightfully named Lord Strange. This is one of my all time favorite EJ novels!

Ashes in the Wind by Kathleen Woodiwiss

The classic. This epic novel is a rare American historical featuring a girl disguised as a boy who fall in love with a Yankee surgeon.

The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville



The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville. When the hero is struck with amnesia the heroine feels free to create not just a different identity for herself, but also an entire relationship between them. As one does.
