Somewhere in my head I must have actually thought I’d get this book done. And I did. YAY!!!

Talk about getting close to a character. I admit wholeheartedly, I love Alex and I knew he was special since Sinful Surrender. I also knew I torture him and challenge him. I also knew his and Charlotte’s story would be very close to my heart. It’s been over three years, first anticipating his story and then writing it. I will sincerely miss him. 🙂

Last night, Amazon was the first to get AN HEIR OF DECEPTION up on their site and let me tell you it was sheer relief. B&N followed hours later–close enough to join the party.

Today is all about me celebrating its release with you. Some lucky commenter is going to win a $50 eGift Card to an online bookstore of their choice.

 

A man devastated by love

After three years of carousing and debauchery, Alex Cartwright, heir to the Duke of Hastings, has put his life back in order. Having embraced sobriety for two years, he has no intention of revisiting the past or risking his heart again. But the return of the very woman who introduced him to the darkest side of hell brings not only the painful, haunting memories of bittersweet love and abandonment, but the son he never knew he had…

A woman silenced by secrets

Threatened by the revelation of a secret that could destroy her family’s place in society and forever tarnish a dukedom, Charlotte fled England on her wedding day five years ago. Now, although it appears that secret is safe, when Alex discovers her other secret—their son—Charlotte has an altogether different battle ahead. She must now fight one love to hold onto the other—the man whose touch still makes her burn, for the child who is her very world.

  158. Buying the book now. Can’t wait to read. Loved all of your other books. You are an exceptional writer.

  159. I downloaded An Heir of Deception late last night. I was soo excited it has finally been released. I can’t wait to get home from work and read. Thank you so much for making such fun characters to follow. So glad this one is finally here your teaser chapters just kept me hanging on.

  174. Congratulations! I devoured this book within a few hours (if not less)! I fell in love with Alex when he was first introduced and it broke my heart to know that his and Charlotte’s story would not be without some trauma. Alex’s personality, in a way, reminds me of my husband’s and this is probably why I fell in love with his character.
