Devil's Daughter

Phoebe, Lady Clare, is a young widow who holds a firm grudge against a man she has never met. West Ravenel, she has been told, tormented her late husband at boarding school, and she has never forgiven him for it.

At a family wedding she meets a dashing, charming stranger and feels a sharp jolt of attraction. Then he gives his name, and it is West Ravenel.

West has a tarnished past and offers no apologies or excuses for it. From the first moment with Phoebe he is consumed by desire, and just as sharply aware that a woman like her is out of his reach.

What he has not reckoned with is her parentage. Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocrat: her mother was a strong-willed wallflower who eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, reputed to be the most wicked rake in England.

West has awakened something fiery in her, and Phoebe sets out to seduce him. This is a historical romance with an enemies-to-lovers pull, built on a grudge, a hidden identity and a heroine who takes the lead. The open question is whether their passion can outlast the past that stands between them.
