New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas returns with an enthralling
and steamy romance between a Scot with a mysterious past and
strong-willed lady looking for adventure--and love.
"The devil never tries to make people do the wrong thing by scaring
them. He does it by tempting them."
Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed beauty who runs a shipping
company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So
far, she's been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets
Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her
sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn't be more different, but
their attraction is powerful, raw and irresistible.
From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One:
don't fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: avoid
being killed.
So far, neither of those is going well.
Keir doesn't know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals the
secret of his mysterious past. His world is thrown into upheaval, and
the only one he trusts is Merritt.
Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before,
making her long for the one thing she can't have from Keir MacRae:
forever. As danger draws closer, she'll do whatever it takes to save the
man she loves . . . even knowing he might be the devil in disguise.
