About this ebook

An Innocent Deception . . .

Lady Meredith Brookshire has every right to Oak Run. Now that she's suddenly husbandless and penniless, where else would she, her addled father, and spinster aunt reside? Yet who should appear but Nicholas Caulfield, the new Brookshire heir, claiming the estate is rightfully his by law. The brute is as arrogant as he is handsome-besides, he's supposed to be dead. And the only plan resourceful Meredith can devise to save her family from homelessness is a desperate scheme that may lead her to salvation or ruin . . . and the bed of the man she has vowed to hate.

A reluctant aristocrat, Nick does not trust this fiery, infuriating chit whom he suspects of subterfuge-yet who bewitches him with her innocent green eyes. The sooner he can get this tempting beauty married off to some stodgy old blueblood-and off his hands for good-the better. There is one slight problem, however:

Nick can't bear the thought of her wedding any man but him.

Ratings and reviews

Dude was an asshole, and she was stupid. Can't belive she fell in love with him because he was kinda nice to her twice while being a dushbag 98% of the time. Never even apologized for all the things he said or implied. She was pretty much his bitch till the end.

I loved this book so much I've read it twice. Even though it sounded familiar I was already hooked again. Sophie Jordan knows how to write a book that pulls you in from the start and even though she sets the stage where you know where the book is set she doesn't spend twenty pages describing the furniture and curtains in grave detail but gets on to the part readers want, the romance. 5 stars and more if I could!

I love anything written by Sophie Jordan. This book didn't disappoint. I laughed, cried and got angry at his stubbornness, but she was also stubborn. So can't blame him only. Well worth the read for me! 😀
