What this book is about
The Duke of St. Ives — known as Devil — encounters Honoria Wetherby over his cousin's dead body and, bound by honor, must protect her. What follows is a classic Regency seduction in which Devil meets genuine resistance for the first time. Laurens writes explicit Regency romance; this is the first of the Cynster series and sets the sensual tone for the entire run.
