The World's Fair is nearing its end, but the danger in Chicago lingers.
It's mid-September of 1893 and Eloisa Carstairs is the reigning beauty of Gilded Age Chicago society. To outsiders she appears to have it all. But Eloisa is living with a dark secret. Several months ago, she endured a horrible assault at the hands of Douglass Sloane, heir to one of Chicago's wealthiest families. Fearing the loss of her reputation, Eloisa confided in only one friend. That is, until she meets Detective Sean Ryan at a high-society ball.
Sean is on the outskirts of the wealthy Chicago lifestyle. Born into a poor Irish family, becoming a policeman was his best opportunity to ensure his future security. Despite society's restrictions, he is enamored with Eloisa Carstairs. Sean seethes inside at what he knows happened to her, and he will do anything to keep her safe-even if he can never earn her affections. .
Eloisa longs to feel normal again in the midst of the danger surrounding the Chicago World's Fair, but a killer is on the loose. In the last month, three debutants have been accosted in the city by an assailant wielding a stiletto. As the danger in the city increases, and as Eloisa's and Sean's romance blossoms, they both realize they want to be seen as more than how the world views them. But will they catch the killer before all their hopes come tumbling down?

My review;
"Deception on Sable Hill", is a great historical romance novel with suspense built right in. I really liked the storyline and Eloisa Carstairs who is the main character. She is strong and is good at not showing what she is feeling. She has a huge secret but, no one has figured that out yet because she is hiding it well. She is afraid to have her future life ruined so she tells no one what has happened to her. Detective Sean Ryan has decided that he wants to help her. As they both try to solve a mystery they start to get closer. Will they be safe? Will they find a future together? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by BookLook Bloggers and all opinions are my own.
