Lies & Deceits
The
Extraordinary Life of Amy Winston, Book 3
BLURB
Despite her
lack of dowry and cloudy past, Amy Winston becomes one of the most sought-after
young ladies in the London marriage mart. Some desire her for her beauty and
charm while others appreciate her unique skills of seeing with her mind,
healing with her hands, and disappearing in plain sight. By her choice of
husbands, she secures her safety. However, her marriage almost brings the English
Parliament to its knees.
Excerpt
Amy hurried out the French
doors and onto a massive stone porch that opened to a very large garden. It had
to be several acres. How would she ever find Gunter in so much foliage?
“Miss Winston?” a
gentleman spoke and she turned to see John Marsh standing at the French doors.
He smiled. “I thought it was you. Are you looking for Mr. Jones?”
“Yes,” Amy lied.
“Well, if he were out
there, you’d never find him. This garden has a great many lover’s rooms. In
fact, Mrs. Rothborn’s toy poodle escaped her fine fortress and met with the
neighbor’s hound. It must have been love at first sight, for by the time they
were found, a full litter of pups had come into existence.” He went on to
describe the hideous little offspring with drooping eyes and curly hair that
bayed like the father and walked like the mother.
Amy laughed heartily. “Are
any of these puppies about to prove your claim, sir?” she teased.
“Not here. Mrs. Rothborn
ordered the gardener to get rid of the horrid things.”
Amy stared at him in
shock. “Mr. Marsh, this is a horrible story. If you knew it ended so badly, you
should not have made me love the puppies with your vivid descriptions,” she
scolded. “It was very thoughtless of you.”
“I didn’t kill them!” he
insisted.
“I only called you
thoughtless; I did not call you cruel and heartless.”
“They were lovable.”
“Mr. Marsh, stop talking
about them at once,” she insisted and placed her hands over her ears.
John laughed at her and
pulled her hands away from her ears. “The story has a happy ending.”
She stared at him for a
moment. “You saved them?”
He rolled his eyes and
sighed. “Now you’ve ruined my story.”
