What you see isn't necessarily what you get in The Deception from prolific New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter. Evangeline de Beauchamps, a 19-year-old innocent, is forced to spy against her English homeland to save her beloved father from the merciless men attempting to return Napoleon Bonaparte to the French throne. To succeed, she must convince Richard Clarendon, her late cousin's husband and the Duke of Portsmouth, to take her into his home on the English Channel, preferably as nanny to his son, or as the Duke's lover, if necessary. Passing herself off as an experienced widow is more difficult than the virtuous Evangeline ever imagined, especially under the perceptive scrutiny of the Duke, a man who knows--and loves--women, especially one as beautiful and mysterious as Evangeline. And Richard, in spite of his indolent demeanor and long history of affairs d'amour, is no one's fool; he suspects that Evangeline is not telling him the whole truth, but never imagines that she could be connected to the traitor the Duke is attempting to ferret out and bring to justice for murdering one of his friends. Can love find a way to flourish among the secrets and deception? The answer is a resounding "yes!" in Catherine Coulter's moving novel. --Alison Trinkle
From Literary Times
Richard Clarendon carries the guilt laden weight of a friend's death and his own quest for revenge. That burden is somewhat relieved by the presence of Evangeline De la Valette, widowed cousin of his late wife. Evangeline seeks sanctuary in England and becomes the nanny of young Edmund Clarendon. But Evangeline's mission isn't just the care of young Edmund. Napoleon's agents hold her father hostage and threaten his life should she disobey their instructions. So begins the deception. By day she is a captivating widow, and by night the master spy known only as L'Aigle, passing coded messages to the Emperor's agents in high government positions. Clarendon continues to search for any clue to the whereabouts of his friend's murderers and for the spy ring that ordered it. His fascination with Evangeline grows. She doesn't act
