A Cunning Masquerade

When a reluctant assassin returns to the palace and receives a less than warm welcome, she is certain her opportunity has passed to fulfil her mission. Or has it . . . ? When a young prince makes the decision to ignore a certain young lady with red hair and a fiery temper to match, will he seal his fate? Or will a moonlit ball, and a special dress bring the two of them together again - with life . . . not death . . . in mind? AUTHOR'S NOTE: This short story takes place BEFORE the end of book 1 of the Order of the MoonStone series. There will be spoilers for anyone who has not read "A Reluctant Assassin".
