Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas returns with an enthralling and steaming romance between a Scot with a mysterious past and strong-willed lady looking for adventure - and love.

“The devil never tries to make people do the wrong thing by scaring them. He does it by tempting them.”

Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow who’s running her late husband’s shipping company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So far, she’s been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn’t be more different, but their attraction is powerful, raw, and irresistible.

From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One: Don’t fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: Avoid being killed.

So far, neither of those is going well.

Keir doesn’t know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals the secret of his mysterious past. His world is thrown into upheaval, and the only one he trusts is Merritt.

Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can’t have from Keir MacRae: forever. As danger draws closer, she’ll do whatever it takes to save the man she loves...even knowing he might be the devil in disguise.

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.

Lisa Kleypas and Mary Jane Wells are wonderful!

The team of Kleypas and Wells never disappoints. I love the writing and humor in this series and Mary Jane Wells brings the characters to life like no other historical romance narrator, at least for me. She does the voices of both women and men very effectively, in a huge array of accents, and her performance never fails to draw me deeper into the story. I loved both the main characters in this story and the clever connections between characters from earlier books. This was a solid thumbs up with all the stars.

Loved it! Laughed out loud so many times.

If you are a fan of the Wallflowers and Ravenels, you will love this book. Without any spoilers, this is the perfect combination of two of the families. The interaction of the characters from the other stories is fantastic. Narration by MJW is always great and this was no exception. I laughed out loud so many times! Warning, if you are squeamish to the f-bomb, be prepared. However, each time it was used caused me to laugh so hard I had to rewind what I missed after it was said. Hysterical!! My only complaint is that now I have to wait forever for another book in the series. Keep them coming, please!!!

LUV story, slightly off narration

mjw has tendency to make all characters chirpy and bright. misses the mark on Westcliff and his daughter as described in prior novels. as Merritt is main character, this was distracting.

LK + MJW = audiobook perfection

Is there a better historical romance audiobook combination than Lisa Kleypas and Mary Jane Wells? I don’t think so.

Every Aspect is Perfection

Mary Jane Wells is the absolute queen of narrators'. She can perform several different character voices with distinction. She complements Lisa Kleypas' words well. I enjoy her plots, the lightness and wry humor in short I loved it!
