Wicked Deceptions was Joanna Shupe’s debut series, published in 2015. Unlike her later work, these four books are set in Regency-era England rather than Gilded Age New York, starting with The Courtesan Duchess and The Harlot Countess.
The series features heroines who use deception and wit to navigate the rigid social expectations of the period. It shows a different side of Shupe’s writing before she found her signature Gilded Age setting.
