What's a nice girl like Miss Juliet Shelby doing at a
place like Lord Deveril's ballroom? With her shy
demeanor,
she's a total stranger to the dance floor and a source of
mockery for the ton. So imagine her surprise when Deveril
gallantly comes to her defense--and offers to teach her to
dance! Juliet can hardly believe the most handsome
bachelor in London would notice her, until he takes her in
his arms and sets her heart ablaze...
Lord Alec Deveril has never felt such a spark of
attraction for an unmarried lady before. Unlike
the "fashionable" ladies he's accustomed to, Juliet
possesses a generous spirit, a fiery intelligence--and an
explosive secret. Deep in the London underworld, a dear
friend has vanished, and Juliet fears the worst. Deveril
insists on helping, escorting her through the darkest
alleys in town. But he too is hiding a shocking secret--
and the only way he can defeat the devil in his past is to
seduce the angel in his arms...
