Description
When the town's most notorious heartbreaker...
Dangerously seductive and sinfully beautiful, Susanna Burney is society's most sought after matchbreaker Paid by wealthy parents to part unsuitable couples, she's never yet failed to accomplish her mission of diverting a groom–to–be. Until her final assignment brings her face–to–face with the man who'd once taught her an intimate lesson in heartache...
Meets London's most disreputable rake...
James Devlin has everything he's always wanted: a title, a rich fiancee and a place in society. But the woman who's just met his eyes across a crowded ballroom threatens it all. Not because she'd once claimed his heart, or that every sinuous swirl of her ball gown takes his breath away. But because the secrets she carries could cost him everything.
To put the past to rest once and for all, Dev just might have to play Susanna at her own wicked game...
Let the seduction begin!

        June 13, 2011
        Veteran Regency author Cornick (Lord of Scandal) introduces an original twist to a tale that's long on passion and short on logic. Sir James Devlin may have come into a title, but he's in urgent need of money. Putting aside his scruples, he enters into a lucrative engagement with an immature young woman, while his sister, Francesca, falls in love with wealthy scoundrel Fitzwilliam Alton. At a ball, James is shocked to encounter Susanna Burney, his onetime wife, who abandoned him the day after their wedding for reasons that never really make sense. Susanna is now intent on seducing Alton, but not for love: she's a professional heartbreaker, hired by Alton's parents to end what they consider an unsuitable romance with penniless, ill-bred Francesca. Soon James and Susanna reconnect with delicious lust that somewhat masks the absurdity of their backstory.

        July 1, 2011
        After unexpectedly bumping into James Devlin at the Duke and Duchess of Alton's Midsummer Ball, Susanna realizes she probably should have told him they were still married. Of course, now is probably not the best moment since Susannaoperating under the alias of Lady Caroline Carewis in the midst of trying to break up Dev's sister Francesca's engagement to Lord Fitzwilliam Alton. Since leaving Devlin nine years ago, Susanna has earned a living wrecking unsuitable matches, but just as she is about to successfully conclude her latest match-breaking assignment, Susanna's pastin the form of a very cranky husbandcomes back to haunt her. All of Cornick's signature elementsa deliciously creative plot, brilliantly realized characters, and an abundance of sizzling sensualityclick neatly into place in the latest fabulously fun addition to her Scandalous Women of the Ton.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
