You wouldn't expect London society at the close of the 1800s to welcome a Boston Irish girl whose wild ways have already made her the despair of her family, her priest, and her parish. But Sheridan Delaney's charm and enthusiasm for life are practically irresistible. For all her scrapes and scandals, Sheridan hasn't got a wicked bone in her body. It's just that her lively mind never seems willing or able to anticipate the consequences of her actions. So she travels to London, both unable and unwilling to resist the allure of an old schoolmate's invitation to experience all the delights of English high society. She's soon unwittingly embroiled in her dear friend's scandalous matchmaking scheme. For, in Sheridan's opinion, chief among those promised delights is Nicholas Sinclair, the most wicked of the notorious Sinclair brothers. From the first, Nicholas is enchanted by the spirited American visitor. But, when he realizes that delightfully daring Sheridan's idea of harmless fun could ruin the innocent beauty forever in the eyes of polite society, the once unrepentant rake finds himself becoming almost saintly in his efforts to guide her safely through an unforgettable London Season. Handsome Devil is a light-hearted, romantic romp.
