She came to him as a precious gift, a naked angel rolled in a rug. Once he gazed into her green eyes, saw her tangle of honey-blonde hair, he was undone with passion. Elizabeth would never surrender. He was a hated Montgomery - she was a Chatworth - and the blood war between their families raged on, a wildfire of rape, murder, and betrayal. Elizabeth vowed to fight the handsome lord, to resist the burning desire in his eyes - no matter how great the temptation.

Fascinated with history, and desperately trying to finish her dissertation, she's hoping against all hope that the papers will yield new information to invigorate her research. What she didn't expect to find is references to the Heartwishes Stone - believed by most to be pure legend - and said to grant wishes to anyone named Frazier.

Didn't like "Devil" being the star of this story

Publisher's Summary
Jude Deveraux has captivated her listeners with her irresistibly romantic love stories. Now she creates an absorbing tale set in the verdant hills of late 19th century Scotland, where nobility and time-honored customs rule supreme, the majesty of love flourishes, and one beautiful American heiress hopes to become...The Duchess.
What is an "acceptable" man? Claire Willoughby had good reason to wonder - she had to marry one in order to inherit her grandfather's millions. While in London, Claire thinks she finds the perfect candidate: Harry Montgomery, the blond, handsome 11th Duke of MacArran. Their engagement quickly announced, Claire travels to Bramley, the Montgomery estate in Scotland, to meet the Duke's eccentric family. What she doesn't count on, however, is meeting Trevelyan - an exasperating, mysterious, arrogant, know-it-all of a man who lives in secret in the most ancient part of Bramley.
Undeniably attracted to Trevelyan, Claire is reluctantly drawn into his hidden world, where she discovers the truth about the Montgomery family - shocking secrets that could rock the very foundations of Bramley...and bring Claire and Trevelyan ever closer....

Disappointed with Abridgement
I first read this book many years ago, and it has since been one of my favorites. I have a long commute and prefer audiobooks while driving and thought this would be an awesome listen. However, I had no idea it was abridged. It wasn't listed in the description. So as the story progressed, I found myself realizing there was SO MUCH missing from the story! The way this was cut has completely changed the perception of certain characters, most especially Claire. So although I LOVE the book, this was disappointing to me.

One of My Favorite Books
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I often purchased the audible versions of my favorite books to listen to when I travel (and at work when I need to block out office mates chatter!). This one is abridged in extreme. It reads more like a short story. Next time I will pay more attention and get the full novel.
Which character – as performed by Nicol Williamson – was your favorite?
Trevelyan was portrayed well but the female characters all sounded like Grandma.

Good job on the reading so good but missing parts
not everything that was in the book wasn't in the reading audio. it's a great book. I'm sad they had to cut some scenes out. I know cause I know this book inside and out. it was my first romance novel. I had picked it up in garage sale. I actually had to replace the book 3 times. but it was good for what its worth . the reading was dramatic and fun.

Where’s the rest of the story?
I have read this book a few times over the years. This version is missing pertinent parts of the story. The interaction between Brat and Trevalan and the storyline where the girl shows up from a far away land. She was to be sacrificed - I don’t want to ruin the rest but the full version is so much better - worth reading not this version missing the depth of the characters.

I Own The Physical Book
they probably read what they had well enough but they cut entire swaths of characters and there dialog I love the original and I can see where some curs would be fine but when too much is gone you leave the understanding of this wonderful tale behind please read the book or find the unabridged because this is awful (also I've been busy while I typed this up sorry for Grammer and spelling errors)
