Description

Georgette Heyer's bestselling historical romance featuring a dashing and wild young nobleman and the gently bred young lady, both chasing happiness on a collision course with destiny.

A rogue on a rampage…

The Marquis of Vidal is a notorious rake, impossible to tame. Any night of the week you can find him wenching, gambling, or fighting, much to the dismay of his parents the Duke and Duchess of Avon. Forced to leave England after nearly killing his man in a duel, he decides to take a beautiful girl with him. In his rush, however, he runs off with the wrong woman.

This lady is not a doormat…

Determined to save her sister from the scandalous Marquis, Miss Mary Challoner throws herself into his path, hoping he'll release her when they get to Paris. But Vidal is intrigued by the unexpected young lady, who's not particularly impressed with him. The devilish rake has apparently met his match. And as Mary finds herself more and more entangled with the fascinating rogue, her reputation and her future are on the line.

Take a deep breath and don't trip over your petticoats: This best-selling historical Regency romance features mistaken identities, a dashing rake, and a very smart young lady on a collision course with a marriage made in scandal.

    I used to roll my eyes when my mom read these books. She would always try and get me to read them. I never did. Her copies are about 40 years old, so I decided to buy her as many as I could find. Bored, I started reading one. AND FELL IN LOVE! Heyer is my absolute favorite author. I am so sad for all the time lost with this witty author and her books. Her words are a joy to read. She has such a way with words, you yearn to be her characters. If you've never read Heyer, you're missing out. Trust me, you won't reget a minute of time spent with Georgette.

    I'm a huge fan of the historical romance genre and Georgette Heyer is one of my favorite authors, second only to Jane Austen. I've reds every Heyer book I can find and Devil's Cub is the best of them. If you like strong heroine's with dimension and intelligence, then this is the book for you. Plus Heyer is known for her attention to historical details for dress, cuisine and the language of the Regency period. I highly recommend this book!
