Publisher Description
She is desperate for a fairy godmother. Fate gives her a wicked duke.
Simon, the Duke of Bellingham dreads his sister’s house party, especially as her matchmaking hat is firmly in place. Attempting to atone for a misspent youth, Simon has become a sober, respected member of Parliament—and a hunted bachelor. His plan to avoid the minefield of ambitious mamas and their too-innocent daughters is cast aside when he happens across a lady whose beauty is only enhanced by her wicked, teasing tongue.
Lady Jessica Tremaine never forgot the kindness the duke displayed during a dark day when she was a young girl. Unexpectedly crossing paths once again, he assumes she is a lady’s maid and not the lady from a troubled house and family. It’s clear he doesn’t remember her, and for a time, she allows herself to dream of a future away from her despicable step-father.
When Simon learns of her lie, he retreats to London to nurse what he suspects is a broken heart. Yet, when Jessica finds herself in danger, there is no one else she can turn to for help. She is a pawn in a game Simon is determined to win through fair means or foul.
Warning: Contains a lady who needs a knight-errant, a duke who needs a lady, and a deception that ignites a passion for the ages.

Daring Deception
Good story with well-developed characters—both the main and supporting. After reading the description, I was worried this would be a book of angst because of an immature man after the lie became known. Thankfully, that was not the case. This is a very likable and reasonable hero. The heroine not only likable but plucky.
Daring Deception

A Daring Deception
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This is a fantastic story. I was totally enchanted with it. It took me longer to read the story as I tended to go back and re-read many passages. The plot was intriguing and I was immersed to the point that I felt like I was there right in the middle of it. The author gave just enough descriptive detail that my mind was able to fill in the rest. There was nothing to detract from the storyline. I grew up on historical romance and there were some that were so descriptive that I grew bored but not here.
This was a sexy read. I would recommend this to anyone over the age of 18. It was also written in my favorite dual POV format. This helped to fully understand the characters.
