The Blue Devil
A historical meleé of masquerades, mistaken identities, chase scenes, spies, and dotty (or are they?) old ladies. Nominated for a Golden Heart Award™ by the Romance Writers of America, this is Regency romance at its best!
Synopsis
Hiding in Plain Sight...
The Blue Devil is a dashing, brooding spy set to catch a traitor who uses a finishing school for young ladies as a base of operations. But he’s having trouble keeping his mind on his mission, for one of the students reminds him too much of the mysterious Titania, a fairy queen who fled after they kissed at a glittering masquerade ball.
Kathryn St. David is pretending to be a student at the school in order to recover her dear auntie’s lost diary, which contains a scandalous secret that could ruin them both. But she’s horrified to discover that her roommate is the ward of the notorious, darkly attractive Marquis of Blackshire—who seems to be keeping secrets of his own. Will he recognize her as the fairy queen and expose her as the lady who kissed him like a strumpet in the moonlight?

Customer Reviews
The Blue Devil
Enjoyed this historic/spy romance. Had a lot going on in the story which kept it entertaining but was a very “clean” book. Kissing a few times is all you get. Still found it to be very interesting. Had some cute humor in it a couple places too.
Witty and magical
This book was a total page turner, could not put it down. Magic and witty the plot has a hilarious twist you would never guess. Such a wonderful story
5 stars
So much fun! Several mysteries in the mix, but managed to refrain from being dark and menacing in tone. Very lighthearted.
