In the quiet English countryside, far from the
intrigues of London, Lizzie Carlisle slowly mends
her broken heart, devoting herself to her new on
as lady's companion to the Dowager Viscountess
Strathmore―until her peaceful life is turned
upside-down by a visit from "Devil" Strathmore,
the old woman's untamed nephew―a dangerously
handsome man whose wicked reputation hides a
tortured soul.

Devlin Kimball, Lord Strathmore, has spent years
adventuring on the high seas, struggling to make
his peace with the tragedy that claimed the lives
of his family. But now he has uncovered the dark
truth about the so-called accident and swears
retribution. Then, to his astonishment, his
eccentric aunt's will forces him and Lizzie
together, and Devlin finds his path to vengeance
blocked by the stubborn but oh-so-tempting Miss
Carlisle. Her passionate nature rivals his own,
but disillusioned once by love, Lizzie will accept
nothing less than his true devotion...
