~ Undeceived ~
Pride & Prejudice in the Spy Game
A novel by Karen M. Cox, published by Meryton Press
…if I endeavor to undeceive people as to the rest of his conduct,
who will believe me?
-Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 40
During the last gasp of the Cold War, Elizabeth Bennet, a young, forthright counterintelligence officer, embarks on an exciting assignment that would make her late father, a fallen CIA operative, proud. She transfers to Europe to investigate the legendary and elusive William Darcy, an officer in line for the coveted Soviet station chief position who’s suspected of being a double agent.
William Darcy appears to lead a charmed existence, but now he finds himself fighting for his career and against his growing feelings for the young woman he doesn’t know is watching his every move.
Elizabeth wants to throw the book at him, but the facts don’t match her preconceptions. Is Darcy being set up? Are there darker forces at work? Or is William Darcy a skilled double agent after all? Nothing is as it seems, however, and the closer Elizabeth gets to the truth about Darcy, the more she spirals into danger.
Undeceived, the new novel by award-winning author, Karen M. Cox, is part romance, part spy game suspense—a compelling variation on Pride and Prejudice,
Expected Release Date: January 30th
~ Author Bio ~
Karen M Cox writes novels accented with romance and history. All three of her published 
novels: 1932, Find Wonder in All Things, and At the Edge of the Sea, have garnered awards from the independent publishing industry, taking top honors three out of the five times they were recognized. Last year, she also participated in Meryton Press’s inaugural anthology, Sun-Kissed: Effusions of Summer, with her short story, “Northanger Revisited 2015.” Her fourth full-length novel, Undeceived: Pride and Prejudice in the Spy Game, will be released in early 2016.
Karen was born in Everett WA, which was the result of coming into the world as the daughter of a United States Air Force Officer. She had a slightly nomadic childhood, with stints in North Dakota, Tennessee and New York State before moving to her family’s home state of Kentucky when she was almost twelve. She lives in a small, quiet Kentucky town with her husband and children, and works as a pediatric speech pathologist. She spends her off hours reading, writing, and being a wife and mom—and spoiling her new granddaughter.
And without further ado….here is the big reveal!!!

A gorgeous cover and an intriguing story line! Well done!
Isn’t it intriguing? I’m so curious about why Darcy is Lizzy’s assignment!
I love this cover, looks very intriguing!
Me too! The background is just as interesting and beautifully.
I like this cover! It really seems to match the story, which sounds fantastic!
It does! Yes, I agree! It sounds like a thrilling kind of adventure!

What a sexy cover and intriguing premise! I haven’t yet read anything by this author but I am looking forward to starting!
It is sexy, isn’t it? Love the dress! You will love Karen’s books, Carole. They are stellar!
It’s so sexy!!! Can’t wait to read it!
Ditto to all the compliments on the cover…that alone makes me want to read it. I am SO looking forward to this release and it is going to be very difficult as another author is also releasing the same day. But is is a must read for me. Always loved all the James Bond books (during college) and all the movies. JFK read James Bond also so we are in good company to like this type of story. Great Cover!
Interesting, Sheila! I didn’t know that about JFK!
The cover is gorgeous! I can’t wait to read it. I love all Karen’s book!!
Me too! She is a fabulous author!
This is not yet up for pre-order on Amazon, I see.
Sheila, MP doesn’t typically do pre-orders.
OK – I am “following” Karen so I should get a notice of the release.
I love everything about this cover! Zory and Karen did such a fabulous job. I can’t wait for you all to read it–it’s so well done. Smart. Edgy. And all the romantic feels.
Really proud of this project.
Love romantic feels! Sounds great, Christina! Congrats to all!
Another awesome book by Karen and another awesome cover by our dear Zorylee! I can’t wait to read this book!
What a great concept for an Austenesque! Shades of Helen MacInnes, whose novels I adored as a teenager. And I love the title.
Nice looking spies. Love the cover. Two 007s! Look forward to the release date.
I agree! The cheekbones on Darcy make me think of Benedict Cumberbatch!!
Gorgeous cover !!! May I ask who is “responsible” for it ? The story is wonderful, too !
Zorylee Lupitou!
love the cover and the story sounds intriguing! I haven’t read spy novels for years but I think I could be tempted to try again!
Fabulous cover! Looking forward to reading this.
Thank you all for your kind comments! Zorylee (one of Meryton Press’s talented graphic artists) is responsible for the cover. Isn’t it wonderful?! I love it. Z is the best for working with authors to get their input, but the skills are all hers, baby! As I say in the Acknowledgments, I asked her “If you could shut my mouth and do anything you wanted for this cover, what would you do?” Smartest thing I ever did 🙂
Congrats to you, Karen! Thank you for the honor of revealing your cover here! I’m so happy by the prospect of a new book of yours! I cannot wait to read it and wish you all the very best!
Oh yes, that is gorgeous. Zorylee did a fab job. 🙂
What a powerful cover! And the man really does look like Benedict Cumberbatch 😀 This is certainly one of the most original story twists I have ever come across; can’t wait to be able to read your book Karen!
