Deceive Not My Heart (2013)
“Ashley could have passed for Morgan's twin, if one did not know either man well. Claude did not, having met Morgan only twice and having been under the influence of alcohol on each occasion. Ashley, of course, decided to hold back his identity until he knew what he might gain from a mistaken impression.
Ashley's foray into the New World had not been pleasant, and he had cursed a dozen times a day the whim that had brought him from England to the North American continent. Money was hard to come ...by, unless one was willing to work for it, and as Ashley abhorred such an idea, he had drifted from frontier town to frontier town around the Gulf of Mexico, charming credit and hospitality where he could, and gaming and cheating where he couldn't.
Thinking that by now his father would have gotten over the anger that had driven him from England, and determined to return home and to familiar haunts, Ashley had at last reached New Orleans. He hoped to raise the money for passage back to England and escape from what was becoming an increasingly dangerous situation.MoreLess
