New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux’s contemporary novel about a woman who learns that her fiancée is not who he appears to be is now available for only $14.99 and will coincide with the hardcover and audio editions of her latest novel.
Sara Shaw and Greg Anders are engaged to be married. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Sara, Greg is a big time fraud man, descended from a long line of con artists and thieves. In fact, his mother is also in Edilean, incognito, masterminding a scheme to pull of the heist of her lifetime—and Greg is using Sara to get closer to what his mother is seeking.
But when Mike Newland, a sexy undercover cop, who is investigating Greg and his family, enters the picture, he is able to tip Sara off that her fiancé is not who he seems. When he asks Sara to help him gather evidence against Greg and his mother she is terrified—especially since it means she must pretend to still love Greg, even after she has found out the terrible truth about him.
As they work together Sara gets to know Mike and find out about his long connection to the town of Edilean. And with the help of Jocelyn from Lavender Morning, they at least learn the secret that has been haunting Edilean for almost seventy years.

"I did not feel that this book was as good as Lavender Morning. I liked the way the characters were developed but felt that the plot was weak. It did drag a bit in the middle and I found myself skimming some of the pages. I have another one in this series and will see how that one goes."
— Barbara (4 out of 5 stars)
“Deveraux’s colorful cast and easy way with words shine.”
— Publishers Weekly“As Deveraux continues her series, she brings to life the sort of sweet and spunky heroines who attract the muscular men her fans expect and enjoy. So this is another guilty-pleasure romance of suspense that will hook readers and leave them with a smile.”
— Booklist“Deveraux is a master storyteller…Scarlet Nights is no exception.”
— Times Record News" This book was like eating M&M's while driving. Pleasant,predictable, sugar coated distraction on the way to somewhere else. "
— Tamar, 2/18/2014" Book three of the Edilean Series. This book is about Sara Shaw and is bite your nails good. You feel for her and love all the people in the town. Would recommend reading. "
— Sarah, 2/17/2014" Delightful and refreshing story- could not put it down til I finished it. I found it different from any of her other series and look forward to others in this series. IMO this is a different style for her and I enjoyed the change. "
— Barbara, 2/14/2014" I loved it. It was a great book that I wld love to read again. "
— Mrs., 2/6/2014" Another great story! The more I read the series the more I'm enjoying this author's style of writing. I like how she weaves the current storyline with the history from the underlying story. The blend is awesome and really pulls me into the story. "
— Lisa, 1/20/2014" Even though you knew how it would end, it was still a fun read. "
— Claudia, 1/17/2014" Another wonderful story in the Edilean series! I really enjoyed it all the way through. I had trouble putting it down. Can't wait to read the next book in the series. Thanks for another great read Jude Deveraux! "
— Jen, 1/17/2014" Jude Deveraux used to be one of my favorite romance writers. Something about this book made me take it out of the library, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as her books could be. "
— Journeywoman, 1/13/2014" I liked her time travel themed stuff better. "
— Carol, 1/11/2014" I loved Scarlet Night and any reader would fall in love with Mike Newland. A man who doesn't have a million problems that can keep him from the right girl. This was a book that I could barely put down to eat or do anything else. Romance, suspense, fun, it is all there. "
— Sharon, 12/28/2013" Great read but definitely sexually graphic. Think I'll switch to Christian American-west fictional novels. All the romance- none of the dirty love scenes. If I have to close the book every time my husband or kids come around- I know its not appropriate. Too bad- it was a great story. "
— Erinn, 12/16/2013" I did like it but it was kinda missing something. Maybe those missing answers will be resolved with #4? Maybe they won't. I'm kinda wondering if Jude is going to keep this series going until it becomes like another Montgomery/Taggert series. I personally would love a few more of those. "
— Jeannie, 12/6/2013" Good story line and continuation from the mystery in Lavender Morning, but there was too much adult passion for my tastes. "
— I., 11/27/2013" Bought Audio Book 12/28/11. Started 2/18/12 "
— Terry, 5/24/2013" I have been reading this books out of order, but love them. I have a great interest in the simple passion that is put in the characters. I love the idea of a little town and its history of lives. "
— Janet, 4/28/2013" A nice past time read. Look forward to reading more Jude Deveraux. "
— Noor, 11/15/2012" This is the third book in the Edilean series and catching up on the charaters from the previous books was interesting. Jude Deveraux does know how to write a book that is pure fun to read. "
— Donna, 4/24/2012" I liked it, and read it quick. It was one of those that made you hope that no one talked to you for a couple days and you could just read! "
— Candace, 4/14/2012" Easy, fun, quick read. This book had twists and turns and kept me hanging on what was going to happen to the very last two chapters! I look forward to reading moren books by this author. "
— Sara, 4/5/2012" I really enjoyed the cuteness in this one...I hate stories where the characters are too afraid to share how they feel. I liked that this one didn't hold back on that.. "
— Lynnette, 3/31/2012" Typical fall in love, cop love story, predictable. "
— Joyce, 3/14/2012" Love love this series. I like how it goes back n forth through the generations. "
— Tiffany, 11/23/2011" Great weekend read! Enjoyed the story too. "
— Sharon, 8/12/2011" This book was a much easier read that the first book in this series, thankfully! Still not quite up to par with Jude's early work, but she is getting there!! "
— Barb, 7/30/2011" excellent. couldn't put it down. "
— Dana, 6/16/2011" I loved this book...but the ending was a little bit disappointing. The whole book was building and building to this certain event that you expect to be huge and the climax of the book, but then it's over in just a couple paragraphs. But the rest was fabulous! "
— Jen, 5/13/2011" This one disappointed me. It just wasn't the Jude Deveraux I know. "
— Regan, 5/7/2011" 5 stars....I did not read the Edilean series in sequence, but that's OK. The protagonist, Sara Shaw<br/>and hero Mike Newland are exciting and the town of Edilean sounds like fun. "
— Connie, 5/6/2011" Definitely the best of Jude Deveraux's Edilean series. Scarlet Nights was one of the best Deveraux books I've read in awhile. I love a good romantic suspense and nobody can tell a story like Jude Deveraux! "
— Megan, 5/3/2011" This my favorite of the Edilean series!! "
— Teresa, 5/2/2011" I could not put this book down and really didn't want it to end. I haven't read a mystery book in a while and this one reminded me to pick them up again. "
— Carlamtaylor, 4/17/2011" So glad that I found some new books by this author. "
— Pamela, 4/7/2011" Not life changing, but an ok read. Fairly predictable. "
— Anne, 3/30/2011" Horrible writing, horrendous plot, horrific dialogue...I couldn't wait until the horror of it all was over. Don't even bother. "
— Renie, 3/29/2011" It was pretty mindless, but I enjoyed the book. Liked the characters (although totally unrealistic, stil enjoyed the fantasy!). I will read more by this author! "
— Tammy, 3/17/2011" Did I read this? I'm pretty sure I read this, but I can't remember any details about it. "
— Sarah, 3/15/2011" This book was what I expected from one of my favorite authors. I loved the characters and could identify with the heroine, so that was a bonus!!!!! This was a great read and I would recommend it to anyone I know that loves to read. "
