The Luck of the Devil — Barbara Metzger

SHOULD SHE STRANGLE THE RAKE... OR AID HIM WHOLEHEARTEDLY
IN HER OWN SEDUCTION?

Though Miss Rowanne Wimberly had come to be appreciated for both her charms and her sizable dowry, it was her innocent yet very public flirtation with the notorious and dashing Carey Delverson that piqued London's interest in this paragon.

'Twas a good thing the blackguard was back off to the Peninsula. Storybook heroes were all well and good but were best left to the pages of novels. Rowanne was much too practical to wait for love to sweep her off her feet--or to fall for the silver-tongued young hero on every woman's wish list....

True--war and wicked women had kept Carey's heart at bay--until he met the enchanting Rowanne. Now he would have to sweep her off her feet... before the luck of the Devil ran out.
