SummaryJohanna Lindsey presents a sparkling, passionate Regency-era
novel in which a beautiful but ruthless gossip meets her
match in a dashing rake who sets out to change her wicked
ways. Featuring two enthralling characters from the
unforgettable bestseller The Heir, The Devil
Who Tamed Her is a spirited new tale about the
transforming power of true love.
Ophelia Reid is an incomparable beauty with a reputation for
starting rumors and spreading them. Having purposely wrecked
her engagement to Duncan MacTavish, a future marquis, which
her social-climbing father arranged, Ophelia wants to return
to London's marriage mart and make her own choice of a
wealthy husband. But on her journey home, something
unexpected happens....
The heir to a dukedom, Raphael Locke, Viscount Lynnfield
is—in spite of his disinterest in marriage—the
most sought-after young lord in England. He instantly
disliked Ophelia when she caused a scandal to avoid marriage
to his friend MacTavish, but having comforted her in a
tearful moment, he begins to wonder if she's not all bad. So
when MacTavish claims that Ophelia will never be anything
but a spiteful beauty, Rafe bets his friend that he can turn
her into a kindhearted lady who will one day make a good
match, just not with him.
With her parents' blessing, Rafe commandeers Ophelia's coach
and whisks her—chaperoned, of course—to his remote
estate in the countryside. There, as he tries to show his
furious, sharp-tongued "guest" the error of her ways, he
discovers the surprising reasons for her bad behavior. Soon
his daily lessons with Ophelia take effect and he finds
himself irresistibly attracted to her. When Rafe champions
the new and improved Ophelia's re-entry to London society,
marriage proposals pour in. Only then does Rafe start to
wonder whether he hasn't gone and fallen in love with
Ophelia himself.
