"...a treat for everyone who likes historicals and romantic suspense..."
Ceremony of Deception by Jannifer Hoffman is a wonderfully written historical romance. It has romance, mystery, suspense, and danger. And it will surely keep your attention from start to finish!
The story's about a girl named Jessie McGerrett who was raised by the Shoshone Indians after her parents were killed. She lived with them until Tim McGerrett took her to live with him and to learn the ways of the white man—to read and talk properly. They forged a strong bond, and Jessie soon called him "pa". Later, he was murdered by a scoundrel called Tom Keel who was after his money.
As Jessie sets out to find and punish Tim's killers, she meets Scott Cordell...a handsome man who is also out to find Tom Keel for selling guns to the Indians. She tricks Scott into an "Indian marriage" so that she can go with him and Buck Mallory to Cheyenne, Wyoming to find the murdering Tom.
Scott believes the young lady is nothing but an annoyance and wants to be rid of her...but he soon discovers there's more to her than meets the eye.
The story is full of wonderful surprises. Like Jessie's first time in a town and her first time wearing dresses. It's all very humorous that you'll truly love. I find this book a treat for everyone who likes historicals and romantic suspense, and I would highly recommend it for a wonderful read.
