How to Deceive a Duke: 1 [Mass Market Paperback] Cornwall, Lecia

Lecia Cornwall's Regency romp opens with a case of mistaken identity that spirals delightfully out of control. When Lady Meg Lynton is mistaken for her scandalous sister, she finds herself pulled into a dangerous game involving Nicholas Hartley, the Duke of Temberlay — a man with secrets of his own and a reputation for ruthlessness. What begins as deception becomes something far more complicated when attraction ignites between two people who shouldn't trust each other at all. Cornwall delivers witty banter, simmering tension, and a heroine who's smarter than anyone gives her credit for. The plot moves quickly, balancing espionage-adjacent intrigue with genuine emotional stakes. If you're craving Regency romance with bite — less ballroom, more bedroom politics — this hits the spot. Perfect for fans of Tessa Dare or anyone who wants their historical romance with a side of scheming.
