A Devil’s Bargain

A disreputable rake in exile stumbles across the most wickedly delightful means of revenge in the form of his enemy’s beautiful daughter…


When Lady Isabelle is taken hostage by plundering pirates, she finds herself in a dire predicament indeed. Sold on the auction block to the highest bidder, she is defiant but terrified and definitely out of her element on a lawless island at the mercy of an enigmatic master who makes no secret of what he wants from her. Lord Devon is far from just an English gentleman fallen from grace. He is a devilish seducer, dangerous and unapologetic in his quest to use her in a diabolical game of retribution for the false accusation that changed the course of his privileged existence. Yet she knows there is no choice but to say yes when he offers her the devil’s own bargain…


Finally, luck has swung back in his favor. With the delicious daughter of the Earl of Buckland in his less than proper care, Devon Austin can at least exact some measure of repayment for his ruined life at the hands of her father. He freely admits to being a hot-blooded rogue of the first order, bedding lovely aristocratic females, gambling, fighting duels, and in general sowing the seeds of a wild youth as the heir to a dukedom and an impressive fortune. Until he is charged with a murder he didn’t commit, and is forced to flee or face a hangman’s noose. However, he isn’t as bitterly lost as he believes he is, for the innocently beguiling Isabelle stirs something in him that is more than just a vestige of honor he thought long gone. The tables are turned when perhaps he is the one who is falls victim to an unexpected passion for his lovely prisoner. For her, maybe he could risk his freedom to clear his name, for losing her is not an option…and every bargain has a price…
