Titania Danforth -- called Tansy -- has lost her whole
family.
Her father's will put her into the care of the Duke of
Falconbridge, and she can't claim her inheritance until she
marries. He and his wife Genevieve are welcoming and kind to
the American orphan, but Tansy senses they're holding
something back, something about Genevieve's brother Ian.
Ian Eversea is a rake, and the Duke of Falconbridge has good
reason not to trust him around a young woman. Tansy is
beautiful, and she plays the demure miss, but he's not sure
how to take her flirtatious teasing. He won't have to take
it for long though; he's planning an extended voyage around
the world. Besides, he knows of a much better man for
Tansy.
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND IAN EVERSEA is a delightful and
compelling Regency romance. Author Julie Anne Long has a way
of keeping you engaged while not revealing all her
characters' secrets too soon. Tansy and Ian are troubled and
complex inside, but they don't easily reveal their true
selves to others.
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND IAN EVERSEA is the ninth book in
Long's Pennyroyal Green series.
It's not necessary to read the other books to enjoy this
one, but if you enjoy this one as much as I did, you'll be
adding all Long's titles to your reading list.
The moment orphaned American heiress Titania "Tansy"
Danforth arrives on English shores she cuts a swath through
Sussex, enslaving hearts and stealing beaux. She knows she's

But it takes a devil to know one . . .
A hardened veteran of war and inveterate rogue, Ian Eversea

devastating good looks and Eversea charm make seduction so
easy?

When Ian is forced to call her on her game, he never dreams
the unmasked Tansy— vulnerable, brave, achingly sensual—will
tempt him beyond endurance. And fight as he will, this
notorious bachelor who stood down enemies on a battlefield
might finally surrender his heart . . . and be brought to
his knees by love.
