The Art of Deception
All is not as it seems, beneath the Italian sun…
Jenny O’Connor can hardly believe her luck when she’s hired to teach art classes in Italy for the summer. While the prospect of sun, sightseeing and Italian food is hard to resist, Jenny’s far more interested in her soon-to-be boss, Max Castanien. She’s blamed him for a family tragedy for as long as she can remember, and now she wants answers.
But as the summer draws on and she spends more time with Max, she starts to discover that there’s a fine line between love and hate.
A feel-good romantic novel, with a touch of mystery, from award-winning author Liz Harris, which will transport you to the glorious Umbrian countryside.
Some background information
I love Umbria. I try to get there at least once every year. Beautiful Bevagna and Montefalco, which figure largely in The Art of Deception, are both places I know well and always visit.
I originally wrote The Art of Deception for People’s Friend, and they published it under the title A Dangerous Heart. People’s Friend has a restriction on the number of words – 50,000 is their limit. It was later published by Choc Lit under its original title.
This is inevitably a shorter novel than my other ones, although I added a couple of thousand words when I read through it again before it went for re-publication.
