In London 1617, Catherine Parke is desperate to escape a marriage arranged by her aristocratic guardians and to instead wed her childhood sweetheart, who has settled in the New World Virginia Colony. Catherine cleverly manages to secretly board a ship in the London harbor that's bound for the New World. But the shock of what greets Catherine in Colonial Jamestown nearly destroys her. Her beloved betrothed Noah, now a successful Indian trader, seems to be hiding secrets.
Although disappointments and disasters repeatedly test Catherine's strength and courage, a burning desire to uncover the truth drives her to unravel a confusing web of lies and deceit. With her own life in jeopardy, Catherine is drawn to the one man who can save her, but wonders if she can trust him, or will she be swept into an unknown and terrifying wilderness, once again loving the wrong man and paying dearly for it?
Vivid historical details bring the Jamestown settlement and Indian villages to life. Marilyn Clay’s suspenseful and compelling tale of one courageous woman determined to forge a new life for herself in a frightening and dangerous New World is an irresistible combination of intrigue, suspense and romance.
“With realistic, well-researched historical detail, a strong, intelligent heroine, and a fascinating, uncommon setting, this novel will appeal to romance and historical fans alike.” -Library Journal
“A surfeit of fascinating historical details and a refreshingly different setting give DANGEROUS DECEPTIONS its unique flavor, making Marilyn Clay’s novel perfect for readers who miss the romance-tinged historical novels of Rosalind Laker.” - Booklist
"Complete with a romantic subplot, the breathtaking suspenseful action as Catherine tries to unravel the mysterious happenings between her husband and the Powhatan Indians is mesmerizing. Readers will relish this in-depth look at how the first English colonists struggled to survive in Jamestown in 1617.” -Harriet Klausner
