About this ebook
A blossoming romance. An international adventure. And an incredibly judgemental 'potential' mother-in-law.
How on earth is Lea going to win this one over?
Their differences are more than skin deep. They are total opposites. But somehow they just work.
At least that's what they thought until Lea makes a less than satisfactory first impression on Aaron's family.
This could go either way. Will Lea's hot-headed stubbornness see her throw it all in or is love truly enough?
Road to Deception is the Prequel to the Deception in Durban series - A sweet romantic mystery series set against the exotic backdrop of Durban, South Africa.
Join Aaron and Lea as they embark on another adventure filled with mystery, secrets, and twists you won't see coming.

Rocky Road To Durban - Nikki Wilton
Chapter One
Aaron
Champagne, sir, ma’am?
The flight attendant asks as she walks around the first-class seats, offering drinks. Or would you prefer something else?
I glance at Lea and she has a massive smile as she takes a flute off the tray. Thanks,
she says, taking a sip of the bubbly pale-yellow drink. She grins.
I also take a flute with thanks, and the flight attendant moves on. I take a sip. It’s not bad champagne.
Lea puts her drink down and adjusts the seat so she’s reclining. So this is what international first class is like. Honestly, it beats domestic flights.
She wiggles her toes happily. Her socks are printed with little anthropomorphic marshmallows and I can’t help smiling at them.
What?
Lea asks, clearly questioning my smile.
You’re just so cute,
I say. Lea pouts, she hates being called cute. What? You are! Have you seen your socks? And your height?
Lea rolls her eyes, I can’t believe you would use my diminutive size against me, Aaron Perera. I expected better from you.
I wink at her, You really shouldn’t.
She leans over, grinning mischievously. Oh, but Mr Perera, I know what I can expect from you.
Her eyes are on my lips and I lean forward myself…but not enough for our lips to meet. She doesn’t like it and closes the distance to kiss.
After a few satisfying seconds, we pull apart. I brush my fingers over her cheeks and push a strand of red hair over her ear.
She leans over again for a peck before settling down against her seat. That goodbye party was really sweet, right?
Lea asks me as she takes another sip of her drink.
Smiling at the memory, I nod. Lea’s brother Luke and his girlfriend Tania had thrown us a beautiful going away party when we left Darling Point for our travels.
It was so awesome to see everyone one more time before we left,
Lea continues. Man, that was a fun night. The dancing, the jokes, the donut bar! I loved it so much. And all the gifts we got. I wish we could have taken them all with us!
I know,
I smile. But then we wouldn’t have had enough luggage to carry it all. Packing was already a mission. Thanks for letting me keep my stuff at your place.
Lea and her brother shared their family home together.
Lea shrugs, Not a problem, and it’s not like you could have left it at Caleb’s.
My friend from college, Caleb Knight, had encouraged me to come to Darling Point a few months ago since he had settled there with his long-term girlfriend. Somehow, I ended up meeting the love of my life. I glance at the beautiful redhead next to me, who’s now flipping through the on-board entertainment channels.
I still can’t believe she was willing to give up her life in Darling Point to travel with me.
What?
Lea asks, catching me staring at her. I shake my head, but she nudges me. No, tell me, what were you thinking?
I give up. Lea is a force of nature. There’s nothing I can do once she latches on to something. I was just thinking how lucky I am to have you. It’s a little unbelievable that you’re with me. The last time I was on a plane, I was coming to Darling Point to write an article. I never thought I would be flying out with the love of my life.
Lea flushes, another thing that annoys her, but being a redhead - her skin gives away every emotion on her face. I grin at her obvious blush.
Stop it,
she demands. I know my face is red.
I quickly change the subject, "Now, three and a half months later, you’re on a plane with me as we go to Sri
