In this third installment of the award-winning Devil
Devere series, DeVere is finally center stage when Ned,
Annalee, and her cousin, Diana arrive at DeVere's estate for
a weekend of horseracing. From the first meeting, DeVere
makes his interest in Diana acutely known. Although she sees
no harm in a light flirtation, she doesn't intend to become
another notch on his bedpost. Nevertheless, DeVere
fascinates her.
Ned gave her a meaningful look. "I hope you'll take
extreme care in any dealing with him. He is ruthless and
calculating when he chooses to be and has a strong
predilection to manipulate and exploit the vulnerabilities
of others when it suits his purpose. He just can't help
himself. It's not that he's evil incarnate or anything like
that; it's just that he has low tolerance for weakness,
incompetence or buffoonery."
Diana lifted her brow. "You know I am no fool, dear
Edward. I take full responsibility for my actions and have
already made clear what I am willing and not willing to
sacrifice."
Although DeVere is outwardly arrogant, ruthless,
unpredictable and manipulative, the private man is quite
another creature--intensely loyal and fiercely protective of
those few he cares about. Diana also maintains a false
front to the world. Her twelve year marriage is a mockery
and she feels unfulfilled and undesirable which makes her
all to vulnerable to Devere's dangerous charm. After events
take an unexpected turn, Diana's most erotic fantasies
become reality when she seeks comfort and affirmation in the
devil's arms. But little does she know that the fire he
ignites within her will burn long after she leaves Woodcote
Park.
