The Deceived series collects six Regency romances united by themes of hidden truth and mistaken identity. A Duke Deceived and His Lady Deceived (both 2019) are the main novels, while shorter entries like Seconds, Impractical, and A Suitable Replacement explore deception in more compact forms.
Cheryl Bolen uses the Regency setting’s rigid social codes to raise the stakes of deception. When your position in society depends on reputation, any lie can have devastating consequences, and the romances in these books are built on the tension between attraction and the secrets characters keep from each other.
