A sweeping saga of joy and tragedy, bitter tears and soaring triumph.
I loved this series but I couldn't find the first book. This is the second in the series. It made me laugh out-loud. I would definitely read more of her books.
Lisa Bingham magically weaves tender romance with thrilling adventure. Now she brings her Wild trilogy to a dazzling conclusion as the most proper Perigrue sister clashes with a powerful theater magnate, and things become far more passionate- and dangerous-than any make-believe...

"Wild Masquerade" is the last book in a trilogy about the Pedigrue sisters. They lived in virtual servitude to their father because of their mother's supposed "ungodliness". Upon his death, all three daughters must spend a year "working" at various professions to receive a yearly stipend and be able to stay in their house in Boston.
"Wild Masquerade" is a great finish to the series. Constance Pedigree goes to New York to work as a seamstress at a Broadway theatre. However, she misreads the street numbers and ends up at a burlesque house where her cat inadvertently causes $2500 worth of damage to the building's new mirror. Her remarkable likeness to the hero's deceased wife starts off a chain reaction adventure that puts both into mortal danger, but also incredible joy. The villain hides in plain sight, but isn't revealed until the last few pages.
How the mother outwits her husband's final attempts to control his daughters brings the story full circle for a happy conclusion.
