When Devil, the most infamous member of the Cynster family, is caught in a compromising position with plucky governess Honoria Wetherby, he astonishes the entire ton by offering his hand in marriage. No one had dreamed this scandalous rake would so tamely take a bride. As society's mamas swooned at the loss of England's most eligible bachelor, Devil's infamous Cynster cousins began to place wagers on the wedding date.
But Honoria wasn't about to bend to society's demands and marry a man just because they'd been found together unchaperoned. No. She craved adventure. Solving the murder of a young Cynster cousin fit the bill for a while, but once the crime was solved, Honoria was set on seeing the world. But the scalding heat of her unsated desire for Devil soon had Honoria craving a very different sort of excitement. Could her passion for Devil cause her to embrace the enchanting peril of a lifelong adventure of the heart?
REVIEWS & ACHIEVEMENTS
"This book is fantastic! The plot's intriguing; the characters are engaging; the passion's hot (really hot); the writing's exceptional. This is a contender for romance novel of the year. No kidding." The Romance Reader
"4 1/2 stars Exceptional. Like a comet streaking across the sky, Stephanie Laurens burst upon the historical romance scene with CAPTAIN JACK'S WOMAN and immediately captured readers' attention. Her blend of sexual tension and adventure place her in a special class of romance writers, and her star shines brighter than ever in Devil's Bride, winning Ms.Laurens a coveted place on keeper shelves... DEVIL'S BRIDE is a delightful treasure and a gift to give yourself." Romantic Times
"The sparring and dialogue is fraught with sexual tension so spicy it makes the pages burn. A host of delicious men with names like Lucifer, Scandal and Demon makes me anxious to read more from this extremely talented author. Charming characters, a mystery and red-hot passion bring this unforgettable sexy romp alive." Rendezvous
