About the author

USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Hughey started writing romance in the fourth grade. That particular story involved a prince and an engagement. Now, she writes about strong heroines who are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves and the heroes who love both their strength and their vulnerability. She pens romances of all types—suspense, paranormal, and contemporary—but at their heart, all her books celebrate the power of love.

She lives in Cape Ann Massachusetts with her fabulously supportive husband, two out of three awesome mostly-grown kids, and one somewhat grumpy cat.

Yoga, hiking, and traveling are her favorite ways to pass the time when she isn’t plotting new ways to get her characters to fall in love.

Marsh is part of a security/PR firm and a former US Marshal. He is estranged from his father and trying to recover from a recent lapse in judgement. Ayesha is an artist used to taking care of herself. Her doting grandfather wants her to have a bodyguard when it appears his past could affect her safety. When Marsh is asked to protect her how will their black and white mix?
I liked this story! The characters are realistic in dialogue, thoughts and actions. Marsh and Ayesha are strong as individuals and you know when they get together - exciting things are going to happen! There is mutual attraction but since they both have secrets - a relationship will be a challenge. Great supporting characters in friends and family as well. (I will go back and read the other books in this series for more on Marsh’s previous lapse in judgement.) “Deceived” is a thoughtful and impassioned journey of a couple earning each other’s trust.

If you like art, romance and suspense then this story fits the bill nicely.

After overhearing a threat made to her grandfather, Ayesha is determined to keep him safe. Ayesha's granddad asks a favor of an old friend, who in turn calls his son Marsh with whom he has a rocky relationship. Ayesha refuses the overtures of help made by Marsh and just wants to concentrate on her upcoming art show. When a threat is made against her, she realizes that some people will stop at nothing to silence her.

Marsh purposes a two-part plan that Ayesha is intrigued by, however, Ayesha has a big secret and Marsh can't afford to involve himself with another woman that is not forthcoming about the truth.

Highly Recommended. Read It!

Ayesha is an artist who was given to her grandfather at the age of thirteen. Her parents couldn't put up with how she was at the time. She loves her grandfather unconditionally and has to do something against the law to protect him. Enter Marsh from the firm ALIAS. Their business is helping people to safety through witness protection. Now they take on PR for Ayesha for an exhibition she is doing. Little does Marsh know that Ayesha is lying to him. Can he forgive her? Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Deceived is the fourth book in the Alias series. I have been anxiously awaiting Marsh's story and it did not disappoint. Marsh and Aisha were a combustible couple with explosive chemistry. This book was more about the family dynamic than the suspense but, it still packed a punch. I can't wait to read the next book.

Marsh has trouble trusting after his ex hurt him and almost destroyed his company ALIAS. His estranged father asked him to protect his friend’s granddaughter Ayesha. She’s a stubborn feisty artist who is caught up in a scandal from her grandfather’s past. She’s secretive and won’t tell Marsh why she is being threatened and what she really wants when she agrees to use his PR/security firm. This was a steamy romance with plenty of action, funny, and romantic moments.

This is a quick moving story with interesting and likable characters.

There was a bit of suspense which added to the story line

A good read

I read this as a standalone but believe it would have been better had I read the previous stories and had more background to the characters.

Quick read

A great addition to the Alias series with Marsh finally getting his HEA. Ayesha is spunky and sassy.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Good book

[Annette · Rating 4 out of 5]

Story is thought-provoking and magnetic. It was a pleasure to read this story. I don't think I read the previous story and this one didn't really feel that gap enough for me to be a stand-alone, it's really not enough to be confusing just made me wonder what happened. Marcus' demeanor was rather calm most of the energy & emotional pull came from the dilemma on her family history. Although their attraction is intense, the plot wasn't as intense as I was expecting, thankful for the smooth sailing, I'm not a fan anyway of the gore that I sometimes find in this genre.

I read this as a standalone but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the previous stories and had more background to the characters.

It was an easy read and I did enjoy it. It held my interest most of the time but there were a few places where the story seemed to dwindle. There was a bit of suspense but not as much as I was expecting.

Really enjoyed all of the Alias book. Highly recommend.
