The Lords of Deception series by Julie Johnstone launched in 2013 with What A Rogue Wants, a Regency-era romance about an aristocrat whose charming exterior hides darker secrets. Set in the drawing rooms and estates of early nineteenth-century England, the story pairs a deceptive lord with a heroine determined to uncover the truth behind his polished facade.
Johnstone’s Regency romances balance wit with emotional stakes, and this book is no exception. It features the sharp dialogue and social maneuvering that readers expect from the subgenre, while adding the layers of deception and vulnerability that give the central relationship its tension.
