The Devil's Heart — Kathleen Maxwell

First with tender love, then with a darker passion, he taught her the meaning of desire

WAS HIS AN ARISTOCRAT'S GAME OR AN ARCH-DEMON'S GAMBIT?

Reckless tomboy when she defied her father, gentle lady when she cared for the weak or helpless, young Lady Agatha Grey had never felt the passion of a woman... but the masked abductor who made her his bride had no use for a child. He wooed her with tender kindness and fierce desire, and finally she learned to love.

As her father scoured the countryside to bring her back into his power, she began to catch glimpses of a terrifying new side to the mysterious man she had married. He was somehow involved in a ring of evil that not even the Queen's Dragoons could stop, and to destroy it would take all her courage, possibly cost her life... and certainly shatter her heart.

Here, set amid the aristocratic elegance of eighteenth-century England, is a novel of smoldering dark secrets, breathtaking adventure, and tender erotic love -- the second of Signet's exciting new Scarlet Ribbons historical romances...
