The Deception

by Joan Wolf

Overview

Kate Fitzgerald’s villain of an uncle traps Adrian Woodrow, Earl of Greystone, England’s greatest war hero, into marrying her. She, of course, falls madly in love with her husband, but believes she can’t tell him how she feels because their marriage was forced on him. Kate tries to find her father’s murderer and Adrian is caught up in the morass of post-war politics. It is not until Kate’s life is endangered that the two lovers finally understand each other’s true feelings and their real marriage begins.


From Publishers Weekly ...

What with the resurgence of interest in Jane Austen, Regency romances are enjoying a renewed popularity. Veteran novelist Wolf (best known for her prehistoric The Reindeer Hunters), turns in her own delightful addition, one that combines sensuality and passion with a spirited first-person narrative. When Kate Fitzgerald's horse-trader father is killed, she's placed with her malicious uncle, who spitefully maneuvers her into marriage with Adrian, Earl of Greystone. Waterloo hero Greystone accepts the unfortunate situation, but Kate falls deeply in love. Against the colorful racetrack background of the running of the Guineas at Newmarket, she schemes to entrap the aristocrat who murdered her father.
