An Affectionate Deception
Book 2 in the Flowers of London Series
Abigail Wallace dreams of escape. Raised by a father without love in his heart, she is taught to lie and steal from those around her. When her father sends her to snatch the Marchioness Bedford’s jewels, Abigail fights the need to do his bidding. With no alternative before her, she attempts to fulfill her purpose. Only one person stands between her and success, and he has been gone for years. After all this time, will he now be able to save her from what she has become?
Colin Haverford wants nothing more than to find the love of his life. He knows who she is. Unfortunately, she is nowhere to be found. Hunting his lost love for the past decade has brought him no closer to finding her. His friends believe it is a lost cause. His own men are finding the search to be fruitless. When clues surface, sending him to the Marquess Bedford’s ancestral home, his hope is renewed. The Marquess is his oldest friend, yet will he prove willing to assist Colin in all that finding Abigail entails? Or will circumstances, as well as a guest of the Marchioness, conspire against him?
