Synopsis

When We First DECEIVE

By R. G. Shelton

A novel that sweeps the dramatic events of three decades across three continents, When We First Deceive depicts the life of an unforgettable man who chooses freedom and love over his true legacy.

Like all of the Manchesters in his family, Lord Alfred’s veins flow with royal blood. Although born in England with every advantage of wealth, privilege, and power, he feels his life is deficient. He holds all the dreams and fantasies of living in America, where he can evolve through the rest of his life by the freedom to make his own personal choices and not from a scheduled dictated noble structured, "You must do this, and you must do that."

Some years later, while serving in the Great War, he fakes his death betraying his royal family, and flees to Canada to live his second life as Henry O’Bannon. He falls in love and marries Elizabeth, the daughter of a Texas Senator, whose hate, bigotry, and cruelty of the deepest kind cuts their bond of marriage. Their children carry the blood that gives them the right to inherit the ruling seat and the family’s riches. The pressure heightens. It hurts him to deceive his wife and children. If he does not disclose the truth about his treason, he may lose his family. If he does reveal his secret, he will risk dying a second death ... this time for real.
