IT WAS AN UNFAIR DECISION--TO BE FORCED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HER HOME AND HER HEART. . . . When one of her sisters is attacked by Harry Devers, the lecherous son of Mannerling's present owner, Abigail Beverley puts her obsession with reclaiming the mansion on hold. And then Abigail meets the dashing and extremely eligible Lord Burfield, fresh back from the army and in full-time pursuit of a bride. Yet unexpected circumstances force the insufferable Harry Devers to recuperate from a riding accident in the Beverley home, where Abigail's twin sister Rachel nurses him back to health--and into betrothal. Stirred from its brief slumber, Abigail's fury returns, alive and kicking. So when Rachel begins to have doubts about marrying Harry, Abigail devises a daring plan to win back Mannerling once and for all. But perhaps Abigail would be better off concentrating on Lord Burfield, lest he be snapped up by Prudence Makepeace!
Things sure were different in the early 1800s. This book is always interesting and it seems to give a good portrayal of how life was a couple hundred years ago.
"The Deception" was a book not to be put down!

I am an avid reader of Chesney novels - the only fiction that I do read. She spins such believable tales that I long to be in Regency England! You will not put this, nor any other Chesney novel down.
