The Devil You Know

Summary:

A marriage of convenience. A reformed rake. A heroine determined not to lose her heart.

The Honourable Catherine Elford — Kitty to her friends — is faced with an unenviable choice.

Be cast out, penniless, by her penny-pinching half-brother… or marry the handsome, charming Earl of Ledbury — a man who would be perfect if he weren’t a notorious womaniser, and the very same gentleman Kitty once adored during her come-out in Society. Until she discovered him in a compromising embrace with a married lady.

Ledbury has never courted an unmarried woman in his life, and certainly not with matrimony in mind. But Kitty’s generous dowry — enough to keep his beloved racehorses in the stable — proves too tempting to resist. A hasty wedding follows . . . and a wedding night best forgotten.

Determined to survive with dignity, Kitty resolves to let her head rule her foolish heart. Yet as she finds herself drawn into his dangerous charm and the boundaries she set begin to crumble . . . just as the shadows of Ledbury’s past threaten to destroy them both.

Sparkling with wit and brimming with Regency intrigue, The Devil You Know proves that while Society may change its rules, the folly — and fire — of love never does.

Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, Georgette Heyer, Beverley Watts, Beth Andrews, Mary Balogh and Jane Austen.
