Welcome to Litsy!

Quentin Blackwell, Earl of Devlyn, wasn't about to marry a woman carrying another man’s child, When he refused to marry the promiscuous youngest daughter of Baron Townsend, the man financially ruined Devlyn. But when Sophie Hamilton, the man’s eldest daughter, comes to Devlyn with an unexpected offer, Devlyn seizes the chance for vengeance. What he doesn’t bargain on is how revenge could cost him the one thing he wants the most. Sophie’s love. All her life, Sophie’s tried to earn her father’s love to no avail. Even her one chance for happiness was crushed beneath his tyrannical thumb as he convinced her only suitor to marry her youngest sister who'd gotten in a family way with the stable boy. Left firmly on the shelf at forty-one, Sophie accepts her fate until she impulsively uses her father’s criminal activities to escape a life of servitude and right a wrong at the same time. She never really expected the Devil of Devlyn to actually accept her rash proposal, and she certainly hadn't planned on falling in love with a younger man. A reverse May/December romance that will take you by surprise with a hero that's as mature and alpha as they come.
