  Sparks fly when a runaway heiress bargains with a devilish rogue to escape a marriage of convenience.
  
  No one would guess that beneath Violet Crenshaw's ladylike demeanor lies the heart of a rebel. American heiresses looking to secure English lords must be on their best behavior, but Violet has other plans. She intends to flee London and the marriage her parents have arranged to become a published author--if only the wickedly handsome earl who inspired her most outrageously sinful character didn't insist on coming with her.
  
  Christian Halston, Earl of Leigh, has a scheme of his own: escort the surprisingly spirited dollar princess north and use every delicious moment in close quarters to convince Violet to marry him. Christian needs an heiress to rebuild his Scottish estate but the more time he spends with Violet, the more he realizes what he really needs is her--by his side, near his heart, in his bed.
  
  Though Christian's burning glances offer unholy temptation, Violet has no intention of surrendering herself or her newfound freedom in a permanent deal with the devil. It's going to take more than pretty words to prove this fortune hunter's love is true....
  
  MY REVIEW:
  
  I loved the first book in this series, The Heiress Gets a Duke. I found it to be such a fun read and I couldn’t wait to pick up this sequel. The Devil and the Heiress focuses on Violet and Christian Halston, Earl of Leigh's story. This one was just as fun and it is great to revisit the Crenshaw women again.
  
  The chemistry was undeniable and I found the writing super engaging and I was more than happy to get lost in their banter and exciting story. I love that women were portrayed as being headstrong, determined, and have great heads on their shoulders - with an amazing contrast between women from America versus England's Victorian era.
  
  I am definitely waiting with bated breath for the next installment.
