Masquerade — Cynthia Scott

Jane Austen's England meets Shakespeare's Twelfth Night when impulsive Elizabeth Covington cuts her hair and masquerades as the Covington heir, James Langford. Intending to ease her dying father's mind, she instead creates more problems, especially when handsome, arrogant Lord Barton unmasks, uh, disrobes her in the stable. Compromised, she's forced to marry him, but finally realizes that perhaps one should think before acting. .
