The Devil to Pay, by
Liz Carlyle
George
Kemble, the man forever fixing everyone else’s problems, finds
himself plagued by troubles of his own when his sister returns to
London after a decade abroad. Sidonie Saint-Godard has lost her
husband, but widowhood, unfortunately, bores her. When a thief
called the Black Angel begins haunting the hells and alleys of
London, robbing rich gentlemen of the
ton, Kemble is mystified. He knows every member of London’s
underworld, yet he does not know the Angel. But when a battered
Sidonie collapses on his doorstep, bleeding from a nasty stab wound,
Kemble begins to suspect the truth. Can he stop Sidonie’s dangerous
behavior before someone else does?
Perhaps the Marquess of Devellyn can? The man unaffectionately known as the
Devil of Duke Street has a watchful eye on his new neighbor, the mysterious
Frenchwoman known as Madame Saint-Godard. In fact, he would like very
much to seduce her, since he finds the lady lovely, intriguing, and almost
disturbingly familiar . . . But when Kemble hears of his sister’s
fascination with society’s most reviled nobleman, he is doubly alarmed. The
Marquess of Devellyn is the absolute last person Kemble wants his sister in
bed with—and for reasons which have nothing to do with Devellyn’s appalling
reputation.
