Deception So Agreeable — Mary Butler

An alliance with the devil

Lady Bradamant Mount-Aubin knew the proposal was not offered seriously. London's most notorious rake had many such schemes for seduction, and by all accounts they were always successful. But now Lord Nicholas Devlin needed to be taught a lesson.

Brad never meant to marry him. Despite her sweetly worded acceptance, she intended to hold Nick honor-bound to his pledge until it suited her to break off the engagement -- thus making him the laughingstock of London.

Gradually, though, her plan began to lose its deliciously wicked appeal. Could it be that she, too, had succumbed to the charm of Devil Devlin?

Hero: Lord Nicholas Devlin (Devil Devlin)
Heroine: Lady Bradamant Mount-Aubin (Brad)
