The Duke of Deception

by Darcy Burke Narrated by Marian Hussey

Overview

After five years on the Marriage Mart, Miss Aquilla Knox is ready for spinsterhood until a benefactress steps in to help her secure a husband. Only Aquilla doesn't actually want to marry-her failure is entirely on purpose. When the earl she's nicknamed the Duke of Deception sets his sights on her, she refuses to be drawn in by her attraction to him. If there's one thing she knows it's that a gentleman is never what he seems.

Edward Bishop, Earl of Sutton, has a reputation for courting young misses and dropping them without a second thought. This has earned him a reputation for deceit, a description he can't refute because he does in fact, harbor secrets and will do anything-deceive anyone-to ensure they don't come to light. As he comes to know the charming Miss Knox, his resolve is tested. However, trust comes at a price and Ned won't pay with his heart.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"The Duke of Deception is an enjoyable, well-paced story... Ned and Aquilla are an engaging, well-matched couple - strong, caring and compassionate; and their romance is developed in such a way that it's easy to believe that they will continue to be happy together long after the book is ended."

-All About Romance

"This is my favorite so far in this series! There are issues in this one that you normally don't see in historical romance and I love it. They had chemistry from the moment they met..."

- Kelly, The Sassy Book Lover

""...I was united in love with both characters from the onset. This series has me entranced. Three novels in and I'm already hungry for more."

- Lindsey Gray, New York Times Bestselling Author

"I loved how the pace of the story barreled forward getting closer and closer to the secrets being revealed. I will certainly be going back to read the earlier installments in this series."

- The Maiden's Court

"Darcy Burke's writing is just phenomenal, truly one of the most talented authors out there. She grabs you from the first page and weaves a tale of twists and turns, filled with splashes of humor and of course deep passion and romance. From the get go you are rooting for the H and h and drawn into this magical world of Regency England. I highly recommend this book and the whole series!"
