All About Love (Cynster Novels)
Setting: Regency EnglandSensuality: 8Regency rake Alasdair Reginald Cynster, better known as Lucifer, is determined  to avoid the epidemic of marriage that has claimed the rest of his male  relatives. He leaves London for the Devon countryside and a quiet visit with an  elderly friend, but gets the shock of his life when he stumbles on his friend's  body, is coshed on the head by an unknown assailant, and wakes to find himself  being tended by the lovely Phyllida Tallent. Entranced by the beautiful lady and  her quick mind, Lucifer soon finds himself conspiring with Phyllida to solve the  murder even as he grows daily more involved in the lives of the residents of  Colyton. For her part, Phyllida had resigned herself to choosing a suitor from  the unprepossessing noblemen living in and about Colyton. The sophisticated,  handsome Lucifer takes her by surprise and shakes the foundations of her world.
