The true threat lies within the heart... Kate McAuley once thought Lucas Barone loved her, and returned that love for all she was worth-until the day he walked away without a word. Now, four years later she answers a knock on her door and finds Luke on her doorstep, broken, bleeding and unconscious. He brings with him all kind of emotions, and all kinds of questions. Where has he been? Why did he leave? And what's an accountant doing with wounds like these?
As a covert ops specialist with the U.S. government, Luke deceived, betrayed and conned so many people he couldn't keep them straight-except Kate. Their time together was magical, until the call came and he was forced to walk away. For four long years, memories of her have kept him alive and sane. Now, hunted by his own government, desperate and injured, Kate is the only one he can trust.
Kate's innocent phone call for help sets in motion an evil that reaches the highest echelons of political power. With accusations of murder and treason hanging over their heads, it'll take every ounce of Luke's training, intelligence-and Kate's trust-to keep them alive.
Warning: Deep emotion, edge of your seat suspense

It all began when Lucas Barone walked out on his then girlfriend, Kate McAuley. Without an explanation, it appeared as though he just disappeared off the ace of the earth...that is, until one day, a knock on Kate's door. Lucas returns, but he is bleeding and nearly unconscious - what is Kate to do? This man broke her heart, but she can't just turn her back on him - but Lucas comes with baggage. As a co-op special forces agent, he has some very powerful enemies that want to see him (and Kate) dead - but why? The pair decide to hit the road trying to elude what almost seems inevitable. I'll stop there, as I don't want to spoil the story. The story is good and the characters are convincing, but the book does lose momentum once Lucas and Kate reach their safe haven. At this point all the suspense seems manufactured and the story tries to pass off some rather unconvincing excuses for what is happening. Deception by Sharon Cullen isn't a bad story, it just needs to pick a genre and stick with it. The book starts as a very intriguing suspense, but then it unexpectedly shifts toward a rather unconvincing romance...and when it tries to revert back toward suspense, it fails. Overall, I give it a 3.5 stars (bumped to for 4

This was a Kindle freebie, and was an okay read. It had some suspenseful parts, but the pacing was slow-ish overall. The romance was okay, but there wasn't enough tension/sizzle between the characters, so it didn't "wow" me. I did finish it, though, so it gets 3 stars.

Not bad for a freebie. Good character development. I felt for Kate and Luke as a couple but thought the plot re their arch nemisis could have used a little more work.
By Life Is Too Short....
Trashy, dime store novel. Errors in verb and pronoun usage. Waste of time reading this.
