A Masquerade with the Devil

About the book

Once, he destroyed her with just a whisper. And now, she plans to ruin them both with a deceitful lie.

Lady Clara Mapleton has faith in love - the kind that is worth waiting for, not the kind that is arranged in fancy drawing rooms or based on titles. And that certainly doesn't include Crispin Hallworth, the scandalous Earl of Oakford, known as the Devil of Oakford.

However, when a masked kiss at a grand masquerade ball threatens to ruin her reputation, Clara takes drastic measures to protect herself: she declares that they are engaged.

Crispin is taken aback. Clara is the one woman he has never been able to charm or forget. A fake engagement might be the solution for both of them... if they can resist the undeniable attraction that lingers beneath their fabricated roles long enough to find a way out.

With each stolen glance and every intentional touch, animosity gives way to something more perilous - desire.

Because falling for the devil was never in their plans. Neither was giving in to surrender.
