Sophia White is the unacknowledged illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Hennessy. Sophia began her life in scandal and after completing her formal education she needs to support herself but doesn't want to do so on her back so she gains employment at The Tantalus Club. The one of a kind gentleman's club owner Lady Haybury only hires young beautiful women to work for her, even as butlers which has caused quite a scandal all over London. Sophia is used to scandal and has found her new family at the club until one day her father shows up and tells her he has made a match for her to a vicar in a small God fearing town. She has until the New Year to begin her miserable life so Sophia accepts an invitation to Christmas at the Duke of Greaves estate where her newly married best friend and former roommate will be.

Adam Baswich, the Duke of Greaves has invited Sophia to help keep things interesting and stir things up for his annual Christmas gathering. Adam has enjoyed sowing his wild oats but he has put off his father's final punishment too long and he is almost out of time to meet the terms of the will. Adam must marry by February and produce a child before his next birthday or he will be stripped of his title and properties. Adam decides that this holiday gathering he will choose his bride so he invites a large group of potential brides among his barely respectable friends. Regrettably his plans are thwarted just a bit when a storm knocks out the bridge to his estate taking with it a coach and its passengers. Adam jumps into the water and rescues a soaking wet Sophia. Adam and Sophia feel an intense fire for one another even though they are freezing from their dunk in the river.

RULES TO CATCH A DEVILISH DUKE is lighthearted and delightful. Sophia is a breath of fresh air to Adam and readers. She is comfortable in her own skin and offers up witty remarks to the duke who is used to everyone bowing down to him. It is captivating watching this unlikely pair and hoping that they can find a way against all the odds to find happiness together. I thoroughly enjoyed this third novel of Suzanne Enoch's The Scandalous Brides series. Each book in the series has been enchanting and completely different it has me wondering what Enoch has in store for us next.
