The Playwright's Masquerade

By Sydney Schmied

A woman with one last chance to prove herself. A man hiding behind a borrowed name. And a conspiracy that could cost them everything.

Gideon Carver has spent years hiding behind borrowed names-playwright by night, lumberman by day. When he witnesses a gang-related murder and retaliation by arson destroys everything he owns, Gideon takes an undercover job as a stage manager at the one place he never expected to land-the Majestic Theater, where they are staging his latest play.

Bethany has one goal-find a husband she actually loves before her ailing father arranges one she doesn't. She hopes for a fresh start in Chillicothe, where her brothers manage the theater. Between a demanding job as a journalist, mysterious accidents at the theater, and the new stage manager with a suspicious past, her carefully laid plans unravel at the seams.

As opening night draws near and danger creeps closer, Gideon and Bethany must confront the lies between them-and the God who may have written their story long before either of them ever arrived at the Majestic.

A Christian historical romance filled with hidden identities, theater intrigue, danger, and impossible choices. Perfect for readers of Joanna Davidson Politano, Roseanna M. White, Amanda Dykes, and Michelle Griep who enjoy page-turning suspense woven with heartfelt romance and hope.
