A Single Thread of Moonlight (New edition)

"Delicious fun" Observer

"A sparkling escapist romance" Daily
Express

With shades of Pride and Prejudice
and The Count of Monte Cristo,
Laura Wood has penned a Cinderella story for the Bridgerton
generation. A companion novel to Laura's Agency for Scandal
series.
Iris Grey's childhood was idyllic... until her father remarried.
Iris's new stepmother and two stepsisters were cold-hearted
schemers, and when her father dies in mysterious circumstances,
Iris knows that something is wrong. Far too spirited
to be forced into a life of servitude, she runs away to London.

When she crosses paths with handsome, clever and cold
Nicholas Wynter, Iris realises that this is her moment for
revenge. Together they plot the downfall of their enemies - but
the pair begin to find they have more in common than a desire for
justice.

Will their spark burn bright or will it be extinguished
in the flames of their ambition?

• A fabulously fresh retelling of Cinderella with a heroine who
  isn't afraid to take her destiny into her own hands


• Perfect for fans of Jane Austen


• Laura Wood is the author of A Sky Painted Gold and Under
  a Dancing Star
