To Marry the Devil: An Enemies-to-Lovers Regency Romance (Finders Keepers) by Terri Mackenzie

A wallflower’s desperate bargain. A devil’s unexpected temptation. The fake engagement that was never meant to mean anything at all. Lady Annabelle Beaumont detests speaking to strangers—especially gentlemen. With her older sister married, she intends to avoid men until she’s old enough to be put on the shelf along with her favourite novels. Until one disastrous night leaves her alone with the most dangerous rake in London. Now she has only two choices: marry the Devil of St James or be ruined forever. Jacob Barrington, the “Devil of St James” and newly minted Marquess of Sunderland, has spent twenty-six years destroying his family’s reputation, and he has no intention of stopping now. The last thing he needs is a respectable marriage. And so he offers to fake an engagement only as long as it takes for her to find a man she prefers. The trouble is, the more gentlemen she meets, the more she wants him. Jacob knows what happens to the women who get close to him. The Devil can’t afford to have a heart—but if he did, it would be wrapped up in the only person whose life he can’t bear to destroy. Read more
