Dear Gentle Readers,
Sometimes a single moment can suggest a storyline. While on our second honeymoon at the Clearwater Beach Sand Key, I woke up in the middle of the night disoriented. Jet lag. Ate too late. Introduction to mint mojitos. Who knows? But that single moment led to the book, Charming Deception.
I wrote the first three chapters on my iPhone, because I promised my husband this wouldn't be a working vacation and left my laptop at home. The cover is the stairs behind the hotel that goes down to the beautiful beach at Clearwater Beach, Florida. If you're ever in the area, stop by. It is a beautiful resort and the staff is terrific!
Book Description:
Samantha wakes up to a perfect life, with a handsome, attentive husband she doesn't remember. She has it all: a luxury vehicle, designer clothes, beautiful jewelry, and a condo on the beach. But this isn't the life she remembers. As time go by, Samantha discovers she is the object of an elaborate deception, one large enough to include, other worlds, body doubles, time travel, world-hopping, and a galaxy guardian as cold as ice. Is her charming husband in on this deception?
"This is a wonderfully twisted soap opera for the brain. Samantha has me worried and Jakson, sweet as he appears to be, creeps me out. Love the imagery. I feel like I'm right there with these characters. Them OMG... out of the blue, kidnapped, encoding, decoding. Uh, just who is this Samantha Blake? This was like driving carefree down a one-way street and suddenly making an abrupt left turn - where there is no road! AWESOME!!!"

Reviews:
"This story is completely different from all the other books I have read by Carol Ann Kauffman. You get to see another side of her creative mind and I love it. She had me guessing all throught the book. She filled it with mystery, suspence, romance and paranormal. Her style is the same as her other work, maybe even better.
Open door ways can be wonderful and yet confussing to some. But to go throught a door way and wake up not knowing who you are or where you are can be unusal. Sam doesent remember parts of her life. Her husband is telling her that she hit her head and has memory loss. But she doesn't know who he is either. Jaxs is madly in love with his wife and would do anything for her, even switch places with Jackson Blake.
As the two of them resume their life together in Florida, Sam finds herself falling in love with her husband all over again. But is he really her husband? Then one day trouble happens and she is pulled into a cloud with hands all over her. She has no idea what is going on. But she ends up at a castle and remembers her father and everybody there, but how? Jackson ends up there too and wants to taker her home. The king is mean and loves to torture people. He goes after a tracker who found Samantha thinking that he killed his real daughter. So how many Samantha's are there? And is there more then one Jackson Blake?
As the story goes on, you find yourself trying to figure out why there are clones and who made them. Why would someone want more than one person that looks the same? Well the guardian has his reasons. Can this all be worked out? Or is someone going to die? Will all be disappointed in the end? You will have to read it to find out."
