DESCRIPTION: “This is going to be hard for me too… I’ve never had to depend on someone else. And now I’ll be putting myself in your hands. I have to rely on you.” |
| For the past ten years, Sonya Mitchell had worked undercover – alone. She was confident, professional, highly skilled, and not a team player. Now, suddenly, her controller had changed everything. Not only had she been told that she was about to join an ‘active’ team, but the first operation would force her to put all her trust in one man, David Knight, and he was someone she’d only just met. | |

REVIEWS: “Double Deception is a suspenseful read that is definitely a page-turner. I thought the plot was wonderfully crafted and the characters are awesome. I love the strength that Sonya carries around with her everyday. I never anticipated so many roller coaster twists and turns which really made the story even more intriguing. The way Sonya interacts with David is greatly done. Heather Reilly molds multi-characters in the storyline, making everything more in-depth and quite entertaining. This stimulating read keeps going like the energizer bunny, never once disappointing this reader. I look forward to more of her spellbinding tales.” Reviewed by Linda L. of The Romance Studio Reviews, 5 HEARTS "This is a marvellously, well-written suspense that this reviewer just could not put down. She was stuck like glue to her chair and eyes equally glued to the monitor devouring each page and scrolling rapidly to see what was going to happen next. This is not truly a romantic suspense, though there are some emotions involved as there usually are when men and women get together…but the suspense and plot of this story is the main feature. It is written in the first person from the viewpoint of the heroine. Multi-dimensional characters give this story its depth and emotion. The plot is fabulous, with twists, turns and surprises that will make the reader gasp, groan, wonder and maybe even cry. This is a highly charged story with one rather violent scene, but keep reading, it is well worth it. Well done, Ms Reilly, this reviewer was thoroughly satisfied. It’s a keeper for sure. The best thing? There will be another story out later this year!" Reviewed by Valerie of Love Romances Reviews "Well written to keep you on the edge of your seat, the interesting premise of DOUBLE DECEPTION is a refreshing change from the usual serial killers. The reader never knows if things are really as they seem or if some twists and turns are in the offing, which makes for a very fascinating tale." Reviewed by Marilyn Heyman of Romance Reviews Today "...an intense spellbinding page turner with a well devised plot that gets the adrenalin running. The writing is impeccable and the characters brilliant as they crash into a world of suspense, intrigue, and jeopardy that could be costly." Reviewed by Cherokee of Coffee Time Romance "Double
Deception by Heather Riley is a thrilling novel of intrigue, romance
and espionage. I thoroughly enjoyed the intriguing plot and developing
romance, and Sonya's character is extremely well developed, especially
regarding her doubts about whom she could trust. If you like a
fast-paced romantic suspense, don't miss this one! It's a definite
keeper!"

Excerpt: We walked slowly, unwilling, it seemed, to reach the hotel too quickly. Passing the park, he slowed, turned towards me and wrapped his arms carefully around me, pressing me to him. The first embrace with anyone, I've always felt like a gawky teenager and tonight was no different. I leaned in to him, hearing his heartbeat racing as I rested my ear against his chest. I was trembling, and was sure he could feel my heart striving to outdo his. The trees leaned down over the footpath here and I relaxed in their privacy, lifting my head naturally up towards him, expecting the kiss. He was clumsy, and smiled at himself, before bending down more confidently and placing his mouth firmly on mine. It was wonderful, and I kissed him back, wanting it to last. A car drove quietly past us, the swish of its tires on the wet road nearly the only sound. When it stopped nearby, Archer drew back, looking enquiringly towards it. "I'm sorry Portia," he breathed. "What for?" I smiled up at him. "I didn't mind at all." "No," he said gently, softly, and reached down to me again. This time he was firmer, and when I tried to back away, he wouldn't let go. Instead, he held me more tightly and pushed me towards the car. "What are you doing?" I put every ounce of strength I could summon into my voice. It was hoarse, and sounded strangely lonely in the silence around us. "I'm sorry," he said again and he suddenly let go of me, heaving me violently the last few feet towards the car. Its doors were open now and I landed, breathless, on my hands and knees beside it. Two more men loomed out of the darkness of the park and grabbed me, rough fingers dug into my arms and legs, and I was shoved unceremoniously into the back seat. It was over before I had a chance to take a breath, let alone even think about calling for help. Still holding me, they slid themselves into the car. Archer was already in the front seat. Then we were driving through the deserted streets, light flashing rhythmically through the car as we passed each lamp-post. I found myself thrust down onto the floor, my face grinding into the carpet and someone's boots placed firmly on my back. One of them grabbed my arms, throwing me even further off balance, and twisted them up somewhere behind me, holding my wrists together as I struggled uselessly. Something was wrapped around my arms and I gradually lost feeling in them to the tightness. I couldn't move, I was more uncomfortable than I would have imagined possible, and bits of me were starting to hurt viciously where I'd been scraped along the pavement and bumped into the door of the car. To make it even worse, one of them leaned down to me and pinched my ear so hard that I twisted without thinking, trying to get away, effectively making it hurt even more. He hissed at me that I should lie still and be quiet, or else, before letting go. |

Author BIO: Heather Reilly lives in the Australian outback. When she’s not writing (which isn’t very often) she can usually be found attempting to round up her sons, cats, and poultry, or trying to restore her 100 year old garden. Occasionally, she even manages to sneak in a few hours reading a good book. Unfortunately, since that tends to involve running away and hiding on the side verandah, it doesn’t happen as regularly as she’d like! Double Deception is Heather’s first romance suspense book to be published. She has also written many erotic romances using the pseudonym Amy O’Connor. |
