What this book is about
Vidal plans to run off to France with Sophia Challoner. Her sensible older sister Mary steps in—and shoots him when he tries to take advantage. What follows is a chase across France, an abduction that becomes a rescue, and a romance between the most controlled woman and the most ungovernable man Heyer ever wrote. Devil's Cub is one of her most thrilling.
