Lizzie Carlisle, companion to Dowager Viscountess Strathmore, is tired of seeing the bills pour in, but no sign of the nephew of her employer. She takes the matter into her own hands and writes a misleading letter to Devlin "Devil" Strathmore to force him to visit his lonely aunt. Believing his aunt (his only living relative) to be at deaths door, he races to her home to find his aunt well and in the care of a meddlesome and enchanting woman that he desires to know much better....
But Devil Strathmore is not what he appears-- believing the members of an exclusive and depraved 'club' to be the murders of his parents and young sister, he plans to infiltrate the club and discover just what happened that night they died in a mysterious fire. In order to be accepted he must play up to the club's rep and behave like a degenerate. But his plans for total revenge are altered by the fact that he is falling in love with the woman of his dreams and now he has to choose between love and his long planned revenge.
Fast paced, sometimes intense, very entertaining book. Not as romantic as the last (and first) book I read of hers, but no less enjoyable. The story centers more around the mystery than the romance, so just for that I give it a 4!
