Sparks fly when a runaway heiress bargains with a devilish rogue to escape a marriage of convenience.

No one would guess that beneath Violet Crenshaw’s ladylike demeanor lies the heart of a rebel. American heiresses looking to secure English lords must be on their best behavior, but Violet has other plans. She intends to flee London and the marriage her parents have arranged to become a published author–if only the wickedly handsome earl who inspired her most outrageously sinful character didn’t insist on coming with her.

Christian Halston, Earl of Leigh, has a scheme of his own: escort the surprisingly spirited dollar princess north and use every delicious moment in close quarters to convince Violet to marry him. Christian needs an heiress to rebuild his Scottish estate but the more time he spends with Violet, the more he realizes what he really needs is her–by his side, near his heart, in his bed.

Though Christian’s burning glances offer unholy temptation, Violet has no intention of surrendering herself or her newfound freedom in a permanent deal with the devil. It’s going to take more than pretty words to prove this fortune hunter’s love is true….

The Devil and the Heiress Review:

I adored the first book of the series, “The Heiress Gets a Duke,” last year and couldn’t wait to read its continuation. “The Devil and the Heiress” reunites us with Violet and Christian as they embark on another journey that could change their lives.

The author has an impeccable talent for writing romance and showcases her skills in this fantastic series. Violet and Christian share incredible chemistry, and I loved their moments together. Even though they both have different intentions for being together, it was delightful to see how they ignite their romance along the way. Some of my favorite scenes were when they go on their journey, and Violet injures herself. I thought the moments where he read Jane Eyre to her were unforgettable and probably one of the sweetest moments I have read in a romance novel as of late. Moreover, I liked how we got to know more about Christian’s family and his background.

However, I felt there were some open-ended storylines, which didn’t add value to the tale. For instance, I thought there would be more emphasis on Camille’s storyline and Violet reaching out to her, but there wasn’t. Also, it would have been nice if the author spiced up the story a bit with characters like Ware to be more prominent in the tale. The book focused more on Violet’s and Christian’s conflicting relationship and not on the remaining cast.

Nevertheless, this was a fantastic sequel only because of the chemistry between the two leads. While the first book had more of an edge to it, ” The Devil and the Heiress” is also very nice to read, and readers can read it as a standalone.
