The Deception

ebook

The saga of the Beverley sisters continues as one hatches a clever plot in this Regency romance by the bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin series.

After their father gambled away Mannerling, their ancestral home, the Beverley sisters become obsessed with winning it back. Abigail’s two older sisters tried and failed, letting the responsibility fall to her. Marrying Harry Devers, the lecherous son of the manor’s present owner, isn’t an appealing option. To wed the dashing Lord Burfield, recently returned from the war, feels like a better choice.

Then Harry suffers a fall from a horse, forcing him to recuperate in the Beverley home. When Abigail’s twin sister Rachel nurses the rake back to health, Harry proposes marriage. While Rachel has her doubts, Abigail has an idea that just might return Mannerling to the hands of the Beverleys.
