Is deception fair in wartime? Margret Scott must deal with this question as she finds herself attracted to the enigmatic Samuel Lowe. As the tensions grow between the colonists and the British soldiers and loyalists, Margret cannot always tell where Samuel’s loyalties lie.
Samuel’s duties have him working for both sides of this war, and he often finds himself torn between what is right and what is wrong. He promises Margret she can trust him, and Margret promises him she does.
But can promises born in deception be trusted? Can a relationship built in uncertainty survive?
"If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity." Job 31:5-6
Amber Stockton began her publishing career as Amber Miller, using her middle and maiden names. Now, she publishes under her married name. Her first is Tiffany, and most people call her Tiff. She married the love of her life in July 2007 and lives in beautiful Colorado with her husband, their daughter born April 2009 and their Australian Shepherd/Flat-haired Retriever mix, Roxie.
Her first book, Promises, Promises, released in February 2008. It's part of a series set in Delaware during the Colonial period. They were repackaged for a state set entitled Liberty's Promise (March 2010). She has also sold another series set in historical Michigan during the Industrial Revolution. Those released in 2009 and will be repackaged as Michigan Brides (December 2010).
She firmly believes a good book can take you away from your present reality into a world you've never seen. With a passion for history, her books take you back to the worlds that once were and give you a slice of life amidst the adventures of her characters.
She got involved with web design in 1997, when she was asked to take over running the official web site for the television series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. That eventually led to a series of negotiations where she was offered the job of running world-renowned actress Jane Seymour's official fan site. Now, with over 50 clients, she and her husband run the design and consulting business of Eagle Designs!
Some other tidbits: she was once the only living female Miller in her family; she is related to former President Woodrow Wilson through her great-grandfather's sister; she's traveled to 41 of the 50 U.S. states and collects playing cards from all of her travels; and she once recorded a CD with a 100+ member choir.

This review is from: Deceptive Promises (Delaware Brides Series #3) (Heartsong Presents #823) (Mass Market Paperback)
Deceptive Promises is probably my favorite of the three Delaware Brides Series. Maybe it because authors get better with time or just deeper into you heart. Maybe it is because the Revolutionary War is my favorite period of American history. Maybe it is because I cannot imagine falling in love and then being separated for months on end and want to know how the characters can possibly survive it! Either way, this book is fabulous and I loved it.
Margret is not a half bad character name either, if you know what I mean. *grin* The only negative thing I have to say at all is that I do not like the cover. Their position seems so unnatural and she almost looks uncomfortable and as if she wants to run. Yet again, maybe that is just me. Plus I am not a fan of mass markets, but anything from this author Amber Miller, soon to be published as Amber Stockton is worth it.
This is a story that delves into history and tells details of some of my favorite historical players. This is almost a history lesson with some romance thrown in. To really understand some of the other characters I would suggest reading the entire trilogy, but it is very capable of being read alone as well, and highly recommended as a novel as well.
