Love and Deceit

Lady Katherine Mason is the average gentlewoman. Or is she? Since early girlhood, Lady Katherine has enjoyed creating fine clothing for her family. But she has a secret. A secret that takes her away from her family, and into the home of the Marquess of Withington. The mysterious and angry man engages Lady Katherine's curiosity...and desire. But as much as she would like to, she is unable to reveal her true identity, for fear of total ruination. Barrick Gray, the Marquess of Withington, despises the world for its morbid curiosity. He has no intention in encouraging the ton's interest in his war wounds, but at the plea of his aunt, he has decided to briefly satisfy her request. Once he has proven to his aunt why he should not remain in the public eye, he will return to seclusion at his estate in Scotland. One thing, however, has suddenly captured his attention. A very intriguing sprite has somehow entered his safe haven...and begun to wreak havoc on his life...and his passions. Neither expects the hunger that ignites between them. Will it lead to true love? Or will it tear both of their worlds apart? *See "Look Inside" or author's website for content warnings*
