New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas returns with an enthralling and steaming romance between a widowed lady and a Scot on the run—who may have connections to one of London’s most noble families.
“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 young widow who’s running her late husband’s 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 his secret connection to one of England’s most powerful families. 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.
Since November 2020 I’ve been listening to the audiobooks of the Ravenels series and really enjoying them! This month I finished the 6th one so now I have to wait until book 7 to be released in June.
That gif right there is me all the time! I hope this one is worth the wait!
I don’t think I’ve actually ever read Lisa Kleypas, but her books sound so intriguing!
I love the sound of this romance and intrigue is such a great combo?
I have not read this series but I had to comment because I love your use of the Fiona from Shrek the musical gif.
I am counting the days until June for so many reasons! I hope that you love this one as much as the others in the series. 😉
It sounds very promising. I know the author but not this series. Guess I have to take a closer look at it *smile* Happy reading!
I hope this one is awesome 🙂
I’ve read a few of Lisa Kleypas’ contemporary but have not checked out her Historical Romance. This sounds fun. I hope you’ll enjoy!
Maybe this year I will read my first Lisa Kleypas!
I really need to try Lisa Kleypas. I love the sound of Devil in Disguise. Merritt and Keir sound like great characters. I hope you enjoy this one when you read it!
Do you know how these characters connect to the Ravenel family?
