Leonie Saint-Andre, the granddaughter of an old Creole gentleman, thinks Morgan Slade is a scoundrel.
Morgan, the son of a wealthy Natchez plantation family, thinks Leonie is a clever liar.
Leonie claims Morgan married her, and fathered her five-year-old son. All she wants is her dowry returned to pay her dead grandfather's gambling debts and save their home.
Morgan knows that he accepted neither dowry, nor Leonie's hand in marriage. But the woman before him awakens emotions he never thought he'd feel again.
But that doesn't give reason for the imposter who signed his name to the marriage papers Leonie holds or why her son bears such a striking resemblance to Morgan himself.

Deceive Not My Heart
By Hotdiggity
This author is one of my favorite and this book is a definite keeper. Leonie Saint-Andre's life this 19th-century New Orleans is nothing but a bitter memory. Her home, a fine Southern plantation, has fallen to decay and her grandfather continues to gamble away what is left of the family fortune. To recover her grandfather's latest gambling loss, Leonie creeps into the gambling house to steal his voucher. Hearing footsteps, she escapes into a dark room and into the arms of Morgan Slade, a man who mistakes her for the bed partner promised him by his host. Her vain protests serve only to arouse his passion but there is no hope for escape. Haunted by the memory of that night, Leonie is shocked to learn that her grandfather has arranged for her to marry none other than Morgan Slade. Leonie, to please her dying grandfather, agrees to marry under two conditions: that Morgan never lay hands on her, and that her dowry is merely loaned to him for five years. What Leonie doesn't realize is that her future husband is not Morgan Slade, but his nearly-identical cousin, Ashley, who, as soon as the charade of their wedding is play out, escapes to Europe with her dowry. Five years later, with creditors about to take her home, and a son, the child of that ill-fated night with Morgan Slade, she travels to Morgan Slade's home to retrieve her dowry. Only to find that Morgan is nothing like man she married. More and more they fall in love with each other, Leonie with the true Morgan and Morgan with this beautiful woman calling herself his wife.

The hero should have groveled more!!
By Amazon Customer
I give this book 4 stars only because I liked the heroine and the setting of the story. One of my favorite time periods for historical romances is the setting of the lush South in states such as Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana so I really enjoyed reading the descriptions of the southern plantations of Natchez and those outside New Orleans in Deceive Not My Heart.
Leonie Saint-Andre is the heroine and lives on a plantation in Louisiana that has seen better days. Her grandfather has squandered the family money on alcohol and gambling and they teeter on the edge of bankruptcy, when he suddenly realizes that he should provide for Leonie, he decides to find her a wealthy husband to care for her when he dies. The weatlhy husband he chooses for her is Morgan Slade, but unknown to her, the man she marries is not Morgan but his scheming cousin from England Ashley who promptly sails back to England with her dowry money with the signed agreement (forging Morgan's name) he'll pay her back in 5 years.
The hero and heroine meet when Leonie travels to Natchez to get her money back to save her beloved home and plantation. Naturally, the hero is angered and outraged that the heroine insists they were married when he clearly doesn't even know Leonie and never saw her before!
What I didn't like about this book was the hero, Morgan Slade. He was burned years before, getting his heart broken, when his first wife left him and in the process got herself and his young son killed. So he has a grudge and mistrust of all women and when he meets Leonie he can't trust her completely despite his instant attraction for her. He knows that Leonie is "different" somehow as he's never felt this strongly about a woman before (except his dead wife) yet he starts thinking all these horrible things about Leonie and how she's just a greedy woman out for his money (he refers to her as a b**** quite frequently, which I found repugnant). Leonie doesn't act like the liar and scheming woman he wants to believe she is, and so he goes from warm and tender to cold and harsh in the blink of an eye and vice versa many times. He can't quite stop comparing her to his deceitful first wife.
On the other hand, Leonie was a very strong and likable heroine. She had guts and courage from the very beginning of the book. When the hero does find out how he wronged the heroine throughout her entire stay at his home, IMO, he doesn't do enough groveling for her forgiveness. After the hero realizes this, I kept expecting the author to make the hero work for his heroine's love and affections, but it never occurred. The ending was especially frustrating for me, because the hero never apologized for his actions, in particular a very *big* and *bad* action on his part to the heroine in the beginning of the book.
Definitely read this for the descriptive detail of life on a plantation and in the South, and the heroine, Leonie. The hero could have been better.

Classic must read
By Laurianna
I'm not going to go over the plot like the other reviewers because that's pointless and too much has been revealed by other reviewers as it is.
However, I feel its my duty to document my love of this particular book. I first read this book in the 80's as a teenager, and it may have been my own naive romantic nature at the time, but I absolutely was blown away by it. Admittedly my only other experience of romance at the time was Mills and Boon, and a bit later Daniel Steel, but I just LOVED it! The story litterally stayed with me for many many years and I never forgot the name of it or the characters names even though my copy of the book disappeared over a series of house moves.
A few years later I remembered it and bought a second hand copy to see whether it would have the same impact on a 30 something jaded divorcee with two kids. Guess what? It DID!
Despite this being written so many moons ago, the story is timeless. I can't imagine a time when such an exciting, sexy romantic book will ever go out of fashion. I for one love the lack of political correctness that drenches modern books. Yes, there are many things that are never written about in modern books, such as rape etc. But if you read an 80's bodice ripper you have to take all that and accept its just a sign of the times and enjoy it anyway. At the end of the day, these things and worse did happen and if you think this one is a bit bad you should read Stormfire! phew, now there's a wild ride.
Morgan Slade is the man by whome I judge every hero in every book I have ever read since. Leonie is the heroine I wanted to BE. The story is wild and tempestuous like Leonies character. There is sex, intrigue, a misunderstanding, a tortured hero and a lovable heroine. It is epic and consuming and the story is a rollercoaster.
I honestly can't recommend this book enough. Every true romanceaholic just has to find a copy and read it. You won't be disappointed. Lady Vixen and Tiger Lily are also excellent reads which I also highly recommend. But Deceive not my Heart will always hold a special place in MY heart.
Other Recommendations : A Private Arrangement, Lord of Scoundrels, The Lady's Tutor, Devil's Bride (Bar Cynster), most Lisa Kleypas books.
Para Romance Recommendations: JR Ward - All books, Kresley Cole - All books but particularly her historical romances, Sherilyn Kenyon - awesome
Hope this was helpful. thanks for reading.x
