Chloe and the Devil (Regency Spinsters Alliance 2). Regency SpinstersAlliance, #2

Chloe and the Devil is the second story in the new Regency romance series, Regency Spinsters Alliance, by USA Today and International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer. Chloe, and five of her friends have formed an alliance, one in which they have agreed none of them will ever marry one of the arrogant and far-too-full-of-themselves gentlemen of the ton. One of those ladies has already broken that alliance by falling in love and accepting a marriage proposal.
Chloe loved someone once, but she loved unwisely, and she now has no intention of ever succumbing to that devastating emotion again. But when a journal is stolen from her bedchamber, some of its content scandalous, Chloe can think of only one person to ask to assist her in having that journal returned to her. The handsome and icily imposing Lucian Lyons, the Duke of Hellsmere, is a close friend of her father's.
But Chloe knows he also secretly does work for the Crown. If anyone can retrieve the incriminating journal, Hellsmere can. Hopefully before its contents become public and Chloe is embroiled in a scandal she will never socially recover from. Lucian has never been able to say no to Lady Chloe Lord, and he has no intention of failing her now when she is asking for his help. Even if it will take every ounce of his self-control to resist taking her in his arms and making love to her, as he has long ached to do.#agegap #grumpy/sunshineCurrent series by Carole MortimerRegency Spinsters Alliance -Lily and the Duke (Regency Spinster Alliance 1)Chloe and the Devil (Regency Spinsters Alliance 2)More books to come in this seriesWynter Hearts:RUFUS (Wynter Hearts 1)MAGNUS (Wynter Hearts 2)More books to come in this seriesSnow Dragons Hunting: paranormal dragon shifter seriesLACHLAN (Snow Dragons Hunting 1)More books to come in this seriesCarole Mortimer has written 289 books, in contemporary romantic suspense, Regency romance, MM Regency romance, & paranormal romance.
