FIRST LINE FRIDAY

where each week we share the first line of our current read(s)

Kitty Caldecott was not the kind of woman to be invited to a Devil’s Night.

THE FRIDAY 56

where each week we share a snippet from page 56 or 56%

“Good night, Devil.”
He gripped the door handle, keeping her from going inside. He raised a brow expectantly.
Patiently.
“Good night, Rhys,” she amended.
“Good girl,” he murmured in her hair. “I’ll be right back. You’ve had a long night, but I haven’t forgotten my promise,” he added roughly.

When you steal from the Devil, getting burned is half the fun!

When Kitty’s gambler father sells her sister into marriage to a notoriously cruel lord with three dead wives, Kitty will do anything to stop it. Including steal from the Devil himself.

What else is a bookseller to do? Kitty’s talents include giving literary tours of London and selling scandalous novels. If she has to find a murderer, she’s going to need all of the help she can get. Even if Devil is as disreputable and handsome as…well… the devil.

The earl created an empire for himself based on collecting debt vowels. Fortunes, inheritances, secrets… anything is fair game. No one crosses him.

Until Kitty.

She steals a vowel right from his pocket—and uses it to blackmail him into helping her save her sister. But no one steals from the Devil and gets away with it.

People beg for his mercy, his attention—anything he is willing to give. He might enjoy having Kitty beg. Even if he already knows she’d rather punch him in the eye. It only makes her more tempting. Irritating. Perfect.

Sometimes it takes both a Devil and a Spinster to stop a murderer…
