In the quiet English countryside, far from the intrigues of London,
Lizzie Carlisle slowly mends her broken heart, devoting herself
to her new position as lady's companion to the Dowager Viscountess
Strathmore---until her peaceful life is turned upside-down by a
visit from "Devil" Strathmore, the old woman's untamed
nephew---a dangerously handsome man whose wicked reputation hides
a tortured soul.
Devlin Kimball, Lord Strathmore, has spent years adventuring on
the high seas, struggling to make his peace with the tragedy that
claimed the lives of his family. But now he has uncovered the dark
truth about the so-called accident and swears retribution. Then,
to his astonishment, his eccentric aunt's will forces him and Lizzie
together, and Devlin finds his path to vengeance blocked by the
stubborn but oh-so-tempting Miss Carlisle. Her passionate nature
rivals his own, but disillusioned once by love, Lizzie will accept
nothing less than his true devotion. . . .

“Tell
me, my clever Miss Carlisle,” he asked in a sinister purr
as he pressed his advantage, stalking her aggressively through the
room. “Are you in the habit of deceiving my aunt as you did
me?”
