DECEPTION continues the saga of the Faraday Center
three—Kell, Fin, and Julia—that was begun in RECKLESS. This
is Fin's story, the runaway turned professional gambler who
comes back and meets up with FBI undercover agent Caleb
Matthews who is posing as Hallden, Georgia's assistant
district attorney. Picking up right where book one left
off, Fin and Julia return to Hallden, summoned by Kell. Now
that Mrs. Faraday is off the hook for murder, Kell needs
their help to contain, if not selectively reveal, their
deeply buried secrets. Secrets that could ruin all three of
them.
After running away from Hallden, Fin has kept running and
never planned to return. Her successful career as a gambler
keeps her from having to put down roots and live in the best
of style. But all of that is at risk if she, Kell and Julia
unable to track down the killer she's been running from all
these years.
Caleb has been hiding his true identity as he hunts for a
different killer. From the moment he and Fin meet up,
sparks fly, but neither of them finds it easy to trust the
other nor to join forces in their quest.
Rarely do I read a series where the second book picks up at
the very point where the first book ends, and offers an even
more delicious story. DECEPTION is that book. The suspense
rides high and the romance is endearing while also hot and
sexy. Selena Montgomery's writing sucks her readers into
the vortex of the story and only spits them out once the
story has concluded, that they might get their bearings and
anxiously await the next installment. Thus, I'm more than
eager to read Julia's upcoming story.
Playing the odds has always been Fin Borders' forte. She
knows when to get out to keep from losing everything. But an
innocent woman has been accused of murder, and to help, Fin
will have to go back to the small southern town of her
birth. It's a place she's been running from her entire life,
a place of violence, where she got by with nothing more than
her wits. Returning to Hallden, Georgia, means facing the
ghosts of a brutal crime that Fin will never forget—and
risking her own life.
But Fin isn't the only one in
Hallden hunting for a killer. FBI Special Agent Caleb
Matthews is deep undercover, hiding his true identity and
his own desperate history. Working alone is far too
dangerous, so he and Fin must learn to trust each other. But
as they grow closer, they are unprepared for the passion
that takes hold . . . and the shocking deception that could
destroy everything they hold dear.
