Lucian desires respectability and a wife above all else, but the woman of his choosing lacks the social graces to be accepted by the aristocracy. To protect those she loves, she would do anything-even strike a bargain with the devil himself. A proper young lady risks more than her reputation when consorting with the roguishly handsome Lucian Langdon, but Lady Catherine Mabry believes she has no choice. They call him the Devil Earl-a scoundrel and accused murderer who grew up on the violent London streets. Their lives are irrevocably changed when it’s discovered that Lucian is the lost heir to the Earl of Claybourne. Now I have an excellent excuse to re-read the series as part of my Retro Reviews feature.Ĭlearly inspired by Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, it tells the stories of Lucian, Jack, Frannie, James and William, who all grew up on the streets of London as members of Feagan’s ‘ merry little band of ne’re -do- wells‘. I have read it a number of times since but never reviewed the books. I first read this series many years ago and it has remained one of my top favourite series ever since.
