Summary

Lisa Kleypas is back with a stunning new historical romance!

Readers have long waited for the return of New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas to historical romance—and now she's back with her most breathtaking yet.

A twist of fate . . .

Devon Ravenel, London's most wickedly charming rake, has just inherited an earldom. But his powerful new rank in society comes with unwanted responsibilities . . . and more than a few surprises. His estate is saddled with debt, and the late earl's three innocent sisters are still occupying the house . . . along with Kathleen, Lady Trenear, a beautiful young widow whose sharp wit and determination are a match for Devon's own.

A clash of wills . . .

Kathleen knows better than to trust a ruthless scoundrel like Devon. But the fiery attraction between them is impossible to deny—and from the first moment Devon holds her in his arms, he vows to do whatever it takes to possess her. As Kathleen finds herself yielding to his skillfully erotic seduction, only one question remains:

Can she keep from surrendering her heart to the most dangerous man she's ever known?

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

This book is one of my favorite books by LK in the writing sense. Very well written and clever. Characters were developed nicely and the change in personalities was also very well delivered as the story took shape. My only disappointment? Well I hate an unfinished ending. Forces one to wait for the next book to determine what the fate of the characters involved truly is. Other than that I LOVED this book

One of the better written books by LK

I absolutely love the way Ms Wells narrates. The story is already great, but she just elevates it to a whole new level of enjoyment. Will start the next book immediately.

Purchasing audible books are nice, but the success of listening to and enjoying the book no matter how well written, depends greatly on the narrator.

The story was so enjoyable, hot and tempting as well as enthralling if it was in paperback I would have enjoyed reading it!

But it was the voice or voices of Ms Wells superb ability to draw her audience and captivate from beginning to end that would not release me until I listened thru to the end. I've purchased several books by the author and most are narrated by Ms Wells!

The narrator OMG
