THE DEVIL YOU KNOW a witty and romantic historical Regency romance
Sophia Holloway
The Honourable Catherine Elford — Kitty to her friends — is faced with an unenviable choice.
Be cast out, penniless, by her penny-pinching half-brother… or marry the handsome, charming Earl of Ledbury — a man who would be perfect if he weren’t a notorious womaniser, and the very same gentleman Kitty once adored during her come-out in Society. Until she discovered him in a compromising embrace with a married lady.
Ledbury has never courted an unmarried woman in his life, and certainly not with matrimony in mind. But Kitty’s generous dowry — enough to keep his beloved racehorses in the stable — proves too tempting to resist. A hasty wedding follows . . . and a wedding night best forgotten.
Determined to survive with dignity, Kitty resolves to let her head rule her foolish heart. Yet as she finds herself drawn into his dangerous charm and the boundaries she set begin to crumble . . . just as the shadows of Ledbury’s past threaten to destroy them both.
Sparkling with wit and brimming with Regency intrigue, The Devil You Know proves that while Society may change its rules, the folly — and fire — of love never does.
Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, Georgette Heyer, Beverley Watts, Beth Andrews, Mary Balogh and Jane Austen.
READERS LOVE THE DEVIL YOU KNOW:
'The Devil You Know is an immensely satisfying read. Everyone loves a Georgian rake and Sophia’s hero doesn’t disappoint. Lord Ledbury’s as naughty as they come – enough George Wickham to set the pulse racing, with a civilising measure of Mr Darcy’s nobility to ensure you fall in love for all the right reasons . . .' Annie Holder, author of Against All Odds
