Deceived by Desire: Steamy Regency Shapeshifter, Paperback

Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love...

Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty "protector". Nash knows he's no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it...

And the spunky "lady" from the streets who masquerades as another man's mistress...

Blessed with the second-sight-or cursed, depending upon which relative she believes-Laney sees her two possible futures: bleak and a soon-deceased victim (ack!) or frolicking with her fellow stagecoach passenger: a golden-eyed, tawny-haired gentleman-who's anything but.

The miserable rip who's already stepped on her dress, who keeps staring...

Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a "strumpet" to bed, Laney takes the doxy's place, convinced she can pretend well enough. After all, she's pretended to be a mistress for years. She'll satisfy his needs, but refuse his money-demand he listen and help her instead. Then she'll be safe.

Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well...

Reader Advisory: While Deceived by Desire is laugh-out-loud funny in places, it contains a short *vision* of violence and brief references to past abuse. Beyond that, expect a fun and sexy good time because...

Changing into a lion is all fun and growls-until it isn't.
