Review:

Devilish Lord, Mysterious Miss is the eagerly-awaited new historical romance by the wonderful Annie Burrows! A seductive Gothic romance full of passion, romance and intrigue, Devilish Lord, Mysterious Miss will keep you on tenterhooks until the very last page!

Lord Matthison had fallen head over heels in love with his best friend's younger sister, Cora Montague, from the very first moment he clapped eyes on her. Despite the vast social chasm which divided them, Lord Matthison was determined to make Cora his bride. But just days before the wedding, Cora had vanished off the face of the earth.

Lord Matthison was determined to find the woman who meant the world to him, but she seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Despite having scoured everywhere for her, Cora was nowhere to be found leaving Lord Matthison to seek solace in drinking and gambling.

One night, on his way home after another night of dissapation, Lord Matthison spots a woman who is Cora's mirror image. Lord Matthison is convinced that he's finally found Cora - and he wants answers. But the woman whom he swears blind is the love of his life has no memory of him...

Seamstress Mary is shocked by Lord Matthison's claims that she's his lost love. She does not remember anything about her past, but she cannot help but be attracted to the man who has rescued her from the drudgery of her existence.

As fate throws them together, Mary finds herself falling for Lord Matthison. But is she really Cora Montague? Or is she just setting herself up for heartbreak?
