The Masqueraders

This thrilling novel from Georgette Heyer, known as the Queen of Regency Romance, is set a little earlier than that era: after the Jacobite uprising of 1745. Siblings Prudence and Robin Merriot—after choosing the losing side of the rebellion—must flee to London to avoid revelation. Prudence disguises herself as the dashing Peter. Brother Robin becomes the lovely Kate. Misunderstandings ensue as well as dangerous romance with people who do not suspect their desperate masquerade.
