  NOTORIOUS
  
  DECEPTION

  BETWEEN DANGER AND DESIRE
  
  Young, beautiful, and tempestuous, Diana Rutledge was shocked by
  
  the unexpected death of her husband. And a trip to London to set her
  
  husband's affairs in order brought even more unpleasant surprises for
  
  the dowager countess -- not the least of which was her introduction to
  
  Derek, the new Earl of Harrowby. Dark and brooding, Derek was far
  
  too handsome for Diana's peace of mind, and against her will, she
  
  found herself growing attracted to the arrogant peer. But his
  
  accusations that Diana was a bold impostor forced her to risk her
  
  reputation, her heart, and her very life to prove that neither she nor her
  
  burning desire was part of a... NOTORIOUS DECEPTION.
