Deceived by Desire

Meet a Shakespeare-quoting shapeshifter who wants nothing to do with love

Nash senses the man across from him in the cramped stagecoach is trouble, a danger to the veiled woman accompanying her lofty "protector". Nash knows he's no hero, yet she keeps asking for his help. And how is it the vexing female knows so much about his secrets? Ones that could rip her apart if she only knew it

And the spunky "lady" from the streets who masquerades as another man's mistress

Nash is surly and rude and resistant to her every effort to speak with him. When they stop for the night and she overhears him order a "strumpet" to bed, Laney takes the doxy's place, convinced she can pretend well enough.

Until, along with her body, Nash starts to claim her heart as well

Changing into a lion is all fun and growlsuntil it isn't.
