Description
This historical romance is set in the early nineteenth century. Working in the advice column of a women’s magazine gives the outspoken Daphne Burke an ideal opportunity to express herself, but when she advises a society lady to break off her engagement to a notorious rake, she is forced to face unpleasant consequences. Miles, Viscount Deveraux, known as “the Devil Deveraux”, needs to find a respectable bride by the end of the season and has wagered his entire fortune that he will do so. When his fiancée changes her mind and announces the broken engagement through the infamous magazine, he decides that the editor responsible should save him, preferably by marrying him. Daphne longs to escape the traps of London’s marriage market, so she appears to accept his proposal and courtship, while secretly planning to create a scandal within a few weeks that will ruin him. She knows it will also destroy her own reputation, but that suits her, as she hopes it will bring her freedom. Her cunning plan, however, does not go as expected.
