Charles Brandon
Elowen, a quiet maid in a noble household near Henry VIII’s court, spends her days unseen among silks and secrets that do not belong to her. When the house hosts a lavish masked ball, the kindly housekeeper lends her an old gown, shoes, and a mask so she may experience one night as more than a servant. Among the glittering guests is Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, who finds himself unexpectedly captivated by a mysterious masked woman who speaks to him with rare honesty. For a few stolen hours they dance and talk as equals—until Elowen flees before the midnight unmasking, leaving behind only a single glove. Determined to find the woman who stirred something long forgotten in him, Charles begins searching the court… never suspecting the girl he seeks serves quietly within the very household he visits.
