Sinopse

Behind a Mask, or A Woman's Power is a novella written by American author Louisa May Alcott. The novella was originally published in 1866 under the pseudonym of A. M. Barnard in The Flag of Our Union. Set in Victorian era Britain, the story follows Jean Muir, the deceitful governess of the wealthy Coventry family. With expert manipulation, Jean Muir obtains the love, respect, and eventually the fortune of the Coventry family. Since it was republished by Madeleine B. Stern in 1975, the novel has become important in critical reinterpretation of Alcott's corpus of works and literary importance. Many literary critics treat the novel; for example, one critic treated the novel as a version of the "Beauty and the Beast" trope, while others provide feminist critiques of the narrative. Alcott's treatment of themes like acting, social class, and the struggle for agency all inform these larger discussions by critics.

    🌀 Hand-spinning instructor and fiber artist Twist Turner is teaching an advanced spinning workshop when the workshop's star student—a notorious fiber hoarder with a competitive streak—is found dead in her studio, tangled in a massive pile of art yarn with suspicious plying patterns. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Twist notices the yarn has been deliberately over-spun and the victim's spinning journal contains coded notes about fiber fraud. With her workshop canceled and the spinning community in a twist, Twist must draft her way to the truth. Assisted by her spinning circle and the handsome textile engineer analyzing twist angles, Twist uncovers a scheme involving fiber substitution, counterfeit exotic blends, and a sophisticated operation diluting luxury fibers with ordinary wool. From suspicious twist consistency that reveals multiple spinners to fiber preparations that don't match the stated materials, every plied strand tells a story. But when Twist discovers the victim was systematically sabotaging other spinners' work to win competitions, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any hand-spun skein. With the regional fiber competition approaching and the real fiber fraudster still spinning lies, Twist must ply together the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently wound up in the scandal.

    Mal's first priority is giving his six-year-old son the best Christmas ever, a goal made trickier by a recent move to New England after losing his job. As a single dad, he's not looking for romance—especially not with a blond California boy ten years his junior.  
    After being ridiculed at the family business, Luca sets out to prove himself by opening an eco-friendly gift-wrapping store in a small town with a hard-on for Christmas that’s about as far from LA as he can get. Out of his comfort zone in snowy Maine, love is the last thing on his mind.  
    But the magic of the season has other ideas. As Mal and Luca collide on wintery streets, will they let their first Christmas in Lighthouse Bay lead to happily ever after?
