The Grand Deception

In the time when marriage is formed by alliance. The Duke of Alfreton, a man of power and prestige, was bound by obligation to marry Lady Lavinia,who was betrothed to him when she was ten years old. Yet beneath the veil of courtly expectations and responsibility, Lavinia's heart belonged to another-a love so fierce that she is ready to undergo any suffering in order to be with the man of her heart.

Married secretly to Bernard, Lavinia's cousin, the strong and simple Lady Arvinia, found herself ensnared in a web of deceit. Forced to take Lavinia's place, until she is found. She must navigate a world of deception and intrigue, where she constantly lives in fear of being discovered by the duke of Alfreton.

But as she goes deep into the deception, so too does an unexpected connection between Arvinia and the formidable duke grows deeper-one that threatens to expose the truth, ruin reputations, and awaken desires neither of them planned for.
