I have to first say I stumbled across Shirlee Busbee and have been devcouring her books as quickly as I can get my hands on them. If I can remember correctly I read Gypsy Lady first, Catherine and Jason Savages story ( my my what a story!)

Deceive Not My Heart starts out with Leonie a young girl trying to hold the estate together with her grandfathers addiction to gambling it seems too much. Slowly it all unravels until there is little left so he marries her off to a rich, level headed, honest to God good man.... or so he thought. Morgan has always been restless and roamed the world for adventure until Leonie shows up demanding her dowry back to save her home with a 5 yr old Justin on her well worn heels. Morgan who had never seen Leonie before is shocked and angry that he should be cheated by Leonie until he realizes that may... just maybe being married to her and having a son like Justin wouldn't be such a bad thing but is it worth it and the scandal it will cause?

I really like the whole family deception or should I say there is always a rotten apple in the bushel? Anyways I enjoyed the story, the banter, the fiesty lil Leonie and the ever brooding suspious Morgan are great for each other. I can't wait til I pick up Midnight Masquerade to see where the next story takes me.
