His love will heal her heart.

It’s been over two years since her fiancé, Robert, died at the battle of Waterloo, and Maggie Radley has spent almost all that time lost in a fog of grief.

When she receives a letter from the war office, explaining that they have no record of Robert, she is determined to get to the truth.

Captain Piers Denford should be putting the war behind him and looking for his future viscountess. Instead, he is stuck at a desk dealing with an ever-growing pile of letters.

He jumps at the chance to escape London while helping Maggie solve the mystery of what happened to her missing fiancé.

At first, Maggie is reluctant to put her trust in Piers, but soon finds herself wanting more than just his words of comfort. Her blood stirs whenever the tall, handsome officer is near. He makes her feel alive again.

Maggie’s heart whispers its longing for love.

On the way back to London, Maggie falls gravely ill, and a worried Piers takes her to his family home at Denford Park to recover. It is here that they finally confront their growing attraction to one another.

But when a dark rumor from Pier’s past surfaces, the future they hope to share is placed in jeopardy.

Is Maggie about to have her heart broken for a second time or will she and Piers finally get their well-deserved happily ever after?

A Lady’s Heart Deceived is a standalone novel in the ongoing Duke of Strathmore series.
This title is available in eBook, print, and audio.

Sasha Cottman writes Regency romance with heroes to die for, and heroines who are strong and courageous.

A lovely tale of second chance …

A lovely tale of second chance …
Will he set aside his stubbornness and pride to ask for help in rescuing him from his predicament…Sadly I have read every other series by the author, except this one.But with this new addition, my mistake is repaired.And upon reading, I discovered I read the heroine’s parents tale when it was released in the Winter Wishes anthology.From the very beginning, I have been sucked into the story, needing to know what will come next.Maggie is no meak demure ton creature, what she wants, she goes after it.And as she needs answers, she won’t settle for half truth. Even if it means circumventing some rules.Piers is a quiet honorable man trapped in an impossible situation with walls slowly closing around him. So when an escape is handed on a plater to help a lovely lady, he takes it as his cue for a respite from his problems.But putting the threat aside does not make it disappear.While their relationship could have began on the wrong foot, they immediately set things right, to begin again without any shadow between them.Sure they embark in what would be seen as an outrageous ruinous journey if it was known they traveled together, why I was rather surprised Maggie’s family permitted such a trip. Why her pedigree, she never should have ventured with a man alone, betrothed or not.After this tale is a sweet second chance for these two persons mistreated by life and people. Along the course of their shared time, their initial attraction moves past the first spark, deepening yo something which could be more, they learn to know the other, someone they have come to admire. But when his secrets come between them, will he trust her to believe in him.4.5 stars𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 onscreen foreplays and lovemaking scenes.

Maggie Radley is very upset with Captain Denford as he keeps telling her fiance didn't serve in the military and could not find a record of his existence. She knew he was real. Her family had met him and she had a letter that said he had died and she wanted to have a statue put up in Coventry for his service. When she arrives to meet Captain Denford and his commander finds out who she is then she is going to Coventry to find out if he real exist and what happened to him. Captain Denford is to go. They wind up going together. She has been morning him for two years. They are in Coventry and see him with children and a wife. In the meantime they find themselves falling in love. Captain Denford has things in his past to take care of before they can marry. This was a different kind of story and I really enjoyed it.

Deception can be devastating, especially when it leads to years of heart breaking grief, Which is what Miss Maggie Radley suffered. What happens next and the direction her life takes, is the central theme of A Lady's Heart Deceived By Sasha Cottman.

In addition to Maggie being deceived, Captain Piers Dunford has also been the victim of a calculated campaign by a superior officer to destroy him. What then brings he and Maggie together, and how they eventually achieve their HEA is what kept me reading through this lengthy book.

All in all, this book is well written, has a good balance between dialogue, action and thoughts. I personally thought this book was a bit too long. However, the ending was so sweet and satisfying that it made up for the parts that were a slow.

Content 411: In addition to less than 10 mild swear words, there are a couple of moderately described sexually intimate scenes and a lot of passionate kissing.

There were sections of this book that were quite good--mainly those portions relating to historical places and events. The love story was more uneven. Maggie went from being devastated at the faux death and revealed betrayal by Robert to lusting for Piers in a matter of moments. The Epilogue was not an epilogue to this story but a lure into the next story. It wasn't all that long--it just felt like it was.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventure and fun
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023

This is an old fashioned version of a scam artist. Only this scam works in favor of the captain assigned to Maggie's case. Falling in love with Maggie was never in sight when Maggie forces herself into traveling with the captain to find the truth about her fiance. This story is witty and a lot of fun, especially the unexpected turn at the end. There are advantages to knowing people who know how the inside of the military works. How she deals with her fake fiance is disappointing, but Maggie's heart is too soft, even after all the pain this man caused her. The story of her and the captain is one of adventure and fun.

Sometimes in life one is lucky enough to find a match where both partners freely love and support the other. Such is it in this story where Maggie and Piers meet under rather fiery circumstances, decide to help each other and later find that they have indeed fallen in love.
This story is so very easy to read – it just flows off the pages, is interesting and entertaining and the characters are really lovely and endearing.
I did enjoy this story very much and will definitely be reading more from this author.

3.5 stars. She had been deceived by her fiance but thankfully encountered a beleaguered officer who was ready to help her find the truth. It didn't take long for the to realize they were very drawn to each other, but both had to resolve issues before they could proceed to their HEA.

Anche questo libro letto in inglese, perché non sono ancora stati tradotti tutti....peccato! Libro bellissimo un po' diverso dai precedenti però includono personaggi che già conosciamo come Alex e Milly, Edwan e Catherine, hugh e Mary....il mio amatissimo William il conte di Shale. È la storia d'amore di Maggie la figlia maggiore del vescovo di Londra Hugh Radley e il capitano Piers Devon . È così bella e così coinvolgente che ho divorato il libro in 2 giorni. La signora Cottman ha superato se stessa.

This is another thrilling story that continues this great series. This plot which gets a bit steamy towards the end, has some wonderful characters who have a very intriguing course to navigate before finding their happiness.
