Devlyn
They were not quite what they seemed.
Thea Furnivall - the orphan of a clergyman, she was found by the elegant Lord Devlyn sewing in the window of a common shop, living in virtual poverty Yet she could quote poetry in three languages and she maintained a self assurance that set her quite apart from other women of her class.
Iantha Fitzjoyce - daughter-in-law of Lord Devlyn, lady of a Regency manor, she appeared to be truly regal with her stunning beauty and proud bearing. But what were her origins... might they be as lowly as Thea's own? And with her wild spurts of temper—which more than verged on violence—could she maintain her power over the men of Devlyn Manor?
Lord Devlyn - noble, rich, handsome, seemingly remote, yet he was brash enough to remove Thea to his estate without a moment's hesitation, merely because she resembled someone he'd loved. He was said to have caused the death of more than one beautiful woman, and some called him a woman hater. The inscrutable Lord Devlyn stubbornly hid a secret that would reveal the deepest, most emboldened passion.

Alysse Aallyn has a gift for smooth, vivid prose and pacing, a keen grasp of human nature and of what life was like in Great Britain.
This little Gothic tale has great characters and plenty of intrigue.
Best damn novel I’ve read this year.
