Straightlaced Annelise Kempton leads a quiet life, shepherding young ladies about to make their debut in society. Hetty Chippie is merely the latest, and despite her ill-bred father, she would have been easy to manage.

But Hetty has plans of her own, and those involve Christian Montcalm, a notorious rake who seems more interested in the very proper Annelise than the young heiress who's supposed to solve his financial problems.

Hetty would rather have her childhood sweetheart, Christian would rather have Annelise, and Annelise doesn't know what she wants. Only that it might be a certain wicked, devilishly handsome fortune-hunter...

If you enjoy grumpy/sunshine enemies to lovers stories with smugglers, a murderous employer, a long-lost love, and a wicked rake, you'll love The Devil's Waltz.
