Wicked and the Wallflower

by Sarah MacLean

First published 2018

Lady Felicity Faircloth finds a mysterious stranger in her bedchamber one night. The man calls himself Devil, and he offers to help her catch a duke for a husband. Felicity agrees, but only if he can promise her a marriage with real passion. She refuses to settle for anything less. Devil is the bastard son of a duke who rules London's criminal underworld. He needs Felicity for an elaborate revenge scheme years in the making. His plan is simple: transform the plain spinster into an irresistible woman, use her to bait his trap, then destroy his enemy. But Felicity proves far from plain. As Devil teaches her the arts of seduction, she decides she wants him instead of any duke. His carefully constructed plans begin to crumble. The wallflower he meant to use as a pawn becomes the woman who threatens everything he thought he wanted. Devil must choose between the revenge that has driven him for years and the desire that now consumes him.
