Love, sex, debauchery and seduction: the first novel in the HIDDEN WOMEN trilogy explores the temptations of eighteenth-century Venice.
In eighteenth-century Venice, carnival is a way of life. Debauchery is the city's favourite pastime and no one does it better than Casanova. Other people's wives, blushing virgins, even nuns: no woman is safe from Casanova's charms.
Except perhaps Luciana Giordano. The daughter of a straight-laced merchant, Luciana is kept out of trouble at her father's palazzo, where she is guarded round the clock by a chaperone.
But Casanova has his eye on her, and with the help of a few disguises, he will help Luciana escape her father's clutches to continue her education. But just what is it that the Chief of Charmers plans to teach Luciana in return?

THE GIRL BEHIND THE MASK is exceedingly enjoyable on so many levels . . . I'm anticipating the next in the trilogy for the story, the historical fiction, the familiarity of tentative sexual debauchery, the oh-so-English heroine. - freedom451.com

I truly, truly ADORED this book. It's just incredibly passionate, interesting, compelling, addictive and has a story you can really sink your teeth into and get lost in for a few hours...
