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?


Don't know what to say about this novel. I liked it, of this I'm sure. But to explain why is not so easy. It seems to have all the traditional parts of a historical romance. It was quite obvious that Devon and Kathleen will fall in love with each other. Nevertheless, it was interesting to observe the development of their relationships. I liked the other characters too. They aren't perfect but each of them has traits that can be admired. There were also some tense moments that made the story more dynamic. And now I am going to read the next book in this series!
