Cloaked in Beauty

By: Witemeyer, Karen

Book Overview

In the heart of the Piney Woods of Texas, Letty Hood has spent the last fifteen years of her life hidden away with her grandmother to escape the deadly schemes of an uncle who wants her dead. Now, with her twenty-first birthday on the horizon, she is forced to accept the escort of a stranger and return to Houston in secret so she can claim a birthright that will make her one of the wealthiest women in Texas. If she lives long enough to inherit.

Pinkerton agent Philip Carmichael has one duty: get the Radcliffe heiress home alive. Expecting a spoiled girl, Philip is surprised to encounter a woman of rare strength with a kind soul and keen wit. As they journey together, Letty's resilience wins his admiration, breaking through his hardened cynicism. Yet the threat to Letty grows more menacing with every mile, and Philip fears that keeping her out of harm's way may be just as impossible as keeping her out of his heart.

"Little Red Riding Hood" and "Sleeping Beauty" entwine for a romantic fairy tale retelling that explores the power of true love conquering even the darkest of nights.

Once upon a time, in the enchanting year of 1896, Texas, lived a brave young woman named Scarlett, though everyone called her Letty. She had a heart as big as the Texas sky and a spirit full of courage. But one day, trouble came knocking at her door, and she found herself in a rather dangerous predicament! Just when things seemed dire, a brave Pinkerton agent appeared like a shining knight. His name was Phillip, and he was determined to escort Letty back to the safety of her home. Together, they set off on a magnificent adventure, traveling through beautiful landscapes, encountering perils, and overcoming personal struggles that brought them closer together.
