Deceit and Seduction - Ryan Campbell, Lisa

Résumé :
What does an unforgiving, golden-eyed girl do when her father's killer walks away unscathed? She never forgets. With the stolen name, Anna Kendrick, this scorned woman journeys from Colorado territory to New York plotting revenge against aristocrat, Samuel Brenner, the man who pulled the trigger. With her skill in manipulation, she marries into a life of wealth and sets about to destroy everything he holds dear. But it is Anna's heart that is manipulated as she finds herself drawn to her new husband, Nicholas. Still, she dismisses her feelings for him as nothing more than infatuation. After all, no woman could ever fall in love with her enemy's son. Nicholas Brenner is an unfulfilled aristocrat haunted by memories of his first wife's betrayal. Unwilling to be fooled into love again, he vows his marriage to Anna will be solely for companionship and heirs. Yet he soon finds his mysterious bride is too intriguing to ignore, and from the moment she steps off the train, his family is surrounded by lies, blackmail, and murder. But before his life can return to order, Nicholas must first confront his father's buried past, the truth about Anna and the unwanted desire he feels for her. Set in late 19th century New York City, this historical romance takes readers through a page-turning drama as Nicholas and Anna try to find love among the secrets that can destroy them.

Biographie:
I began writing when I was a child taking chunks of my mom's pink typewriting paper. Years later, I bought into that belief that writing doesn't pay the bills and decided to get a real job.So, like most millennials, I took the college route and attended Arizona State University to major in English. After graduation, my goal was to continue my education and get both master's and doctorate degrees in English and teach at the college level. Not a bad plan, but that's not what happened. Because in the middle of writing all those essays for class, I was working on an ancient Egyptian romance.In 2002, I got my bachelor's degree in English Literature and finished writing my novel. By then, I rediscovered my love for writing and was hooked on writing fiction. I decided that instead of attending graduate school, I'd joined Romance Writers of America while also working for the Post Office to keep the bills paid (plus a girl's gotta eat). The rest, as they say, is history.Besides writing, I love to travel and have seen many of the world's treasures in Egypt, Peru, Spain, France, Morocco, England, Mexico, and the Caribbean. But most of my days are spent at home in Colorado hanging out with my husband, writing, reading and watching 1940's noir movies. I also love to laugh, so if you visit, you'll probably catch me watching reruns of Archer, Veep and The Office.Sign up for my newsletter and find out more about me, my books, and everything in between at www.Lisaryancampbell.com
