Deceived by Carla Simpson
This book was okay but a bit slow for me.
The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict this story.
Daring
They call her China Lili—a dazzling star of the San Francisco stage whose exotic face hides a bitter past. But when a famous actress is found dead, it is exquisite Lili, flower of the Orient, who is suspected of murder…
Dangerous
Gray Harper has built a vast shipping empire in the waters off the California Coast. Feared by many, known by few, he conceals his secret scars behind a black silk mask—living dangerously in the night shadows of San Francisco…
Deceived
From the magnificent mansions of Nob Hill to the Barbary Coast and the opium dens of Chinatown, Lili and Gray are reluctant partners in a deadly game...wary lovers bound by an irresistible passion that could destroy them—or set them gloriously free…

Sadly didn’t have the magic of every other Simpson book I e read and I had really high hopes. Actually liked this couple better in the first novel. Plot was hard to care about and the end was a rush of conclusions that came out of left field

I liked it and it had a couple of interesting twists at the end. A good read.
