title: The Duchess and the Devil
author: Matthews, Deborah
description: A DEVILISH DILEMMA
  Young, impetuous, and hopelessly in love, Leandra Sterling never imagined that Adam Lawton would join the war against Bonaparte--or that she would find herself carrying his child after he was gone. When her parents insisted on a hasty marriage to none other than Adam's aging cousin, Leandra was certain her fate couldn't be worse. Then her husband died, leaving her at the mercy of Adam himself the one man who despised her...and the only man she'd ever wanted.
  
  A PASSIONATE SOLUTION
  With his cousin's death, Adam gained not only a title, but a chance to take revenge against the woman who had betrayed him so cruelly. Yet Adam was shocked to find that beautiful Leandra still had the power to touch his heart. And with her adorable twin daughters clamoring for his attention--and winning his affection--vengeance suddenly seemed distasteful. What was the truth behind Leandra's marriage to his cousin? And did that matter more than the passion in her every kiss?
