From the Inside Flap
Judith Barlow is a woman with a problem. She¹s close to getting a hard- earned promotion at one of the state¹s stodgiest banks when what was once a dream becomes a reality. The Regency romance that she wrote on a dare is so successful that her publisher urges her to make some public appearances.
Judith hid behind a pseudonym--because bankers, at least at Judith¹s bank--do not write love stories. How is she going to appear in public without people recognizing her? The approach of Halloween inspires her, and a reddish blond wig and green contact lenses transform brown-haired, gray-eyed, bespectacled Judith into her alter ego, Lynette. She tries out her masquerade at a costume party where she meets a knight in shining armor. Little does Judith know that the handsome knight is hiding behind a mask of his own. Two days later, she learns that he¹s none other than Glenn Hibbard, the consultant who¹s going to conduct a study at her bank. What will happen if he learns that Lynette and Judith are the same woman? And what will Judith do when she learns that Glenn has secrets of his own?
About the Author
Amanda Harte is a confirmed romantic and avid traveler whose recent books have transported readers to Gold Rush Alaska, pre-Civil War Buffalo, NY, and a small town in East Texas. Now she draws on her former career as an Information Technology manager at one of New Jersey's largest banks as background for Moonlight Masquerade. Amanda assures her readers that real banks rarely have the problems she describes in Moonlight Masquerade, just as most romance writers don't face the challenges her heroine does. But in books, anything is possible, which is why she loves creating stories that answer the question, "What if?"
Amanda's belief in happy endings is based on personal experience. She married her high school sweetheart, and they're living happily ever after in New Jersey. Moonlight Masquerade is Amanda's second romance novel for AVALON. Strings Attached is also available.
