Wife by Deception

Love that guy on the cover!Mitch Devereaux is from Cajun county and family and a great surprise to Kate Jones. He was not the kind of guy that her sister, Camryn usually hooked up with.But with the mistaken impression given to her by her sister, Kate could not trust Mitch with her little niece, Arianne. Even though Arianne was supposedly his daughter.Darryl was all for dropping Kate into the try-net and dragging her, and Remy inadvertantly became Kate's friend as Mitch fought his attraction to her.Somehow Mitch got the subconscience impression that "Kate" was the ONE that he had been yearning for - to complete his life, his future, his destiny. How could he reconcile this idea with the thought of her being Camryn, who had been such a great disappointment. Yet she, "Camryn", seemed to have given up her boozing and gambling. Was she a better mother?You have to read how Kate and Mitch finally resolved their differences and found love [uh, even sex] and bonded into a loving family unit with grandpere and Memere.Highly Recommended -- Keep for you library - great for a second read

Having read and absolutely loved all of her previousreleases, I found Donna's latest to be the most poignant.It encompasses and makes you feel the full range of humanemotion. I couldn't ask for a more enjoyable read.

Mitch is a Hero with a strong motivation to get his daughter back from his wife who fled from him.Kate is a Heroine who will stop him if he is a threat to her cherished neice. Together their story is a wondrous trip on a shrimp boat across the Gulf Of Mexico from Florida to Louisana .DON"T MISS THIS ONE. Ms Sterling excells !!

Camryn lives for fun and thrills. While motherhood proved to be far more difficult than she anticipates, Camryn believes her baby Arianna is just the ticket to stardom. Arianna just might be the gimmick she'd always needed to break into show business big time. After all, everyone says that soap opera produces would take just one look at a picture of her with the baby and write them into a script as mother and daughter. But after dropping the baby off at her identical twin's home, Camryn's dreams go up in a conflagration when she crosses the centerline.Doctor Kate Jones was always the responsible one of the twins, even when they were growing up in the Methodist Children's Home. She shudders to think that her beloved niece could fall victim to that same system. Determined to raise the child rather than allow her to be shuffled around between foster homes or dumped in an orphanage, it takes Kate six months to gain enough courage to even consult her lawyer. She hesitates to contact the father, whom she's only heard of by first name, because Camryn said that Mitch never wanted the child. Although Mitch has joint custody and is searching for his daughter, he doesn't know his wife is dead.Mitch eventually tracks Camryn to Kate's home and shocks Kate with his arrival. Panicked at her weak legal position, Kate allows Mitch to believe she is her twin. Her reticence to reveal her true identity results in Mitch kidnapping her. Until she can be certain that he's not the dangerous man her sister described, Kate will do anything to protect the baby. Fortunately, Camryn never told her husband that she had a twin. But Mitch is not the violent man Camryn painted him to be. Instead, he loves his child and desperately wants to build a life with her. Further, Mitch can't help the incredible attraction he feels for Kate. It's only a matter of time before he realizes the "changes" in his wife aren't changes at all, but something altogether different. Author Donna Sterling creates a marvelous conundrum in WIFE BY DECEPTION. Sterling writes with a lilting grace, deftly weaving elements into a tapestry of emotions and deception. WIFE BY DECEPTION skillfully captures the fear of the loss of custody of a child for either parent. Further, the beauty of the ocean, the flavor of Cajun cooking, and the Louisiana bayou life is vividly realized, making WIFE BY DECEPTION a zesty treat. Very highly recommended.
