Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase (2007 reissue)

They call him many names, but Angelic isn’t one of them . . .

Sebastian Ballister, the notorious Marquess of Dain, is big, bad, and dangerous to know. No respectable woman would have anything to do with the “Bane and Blight of the Ballisters”—and he wants nothing to do with respectable women. He’s determined to continue doing what he does best—sin and sin again—and all that’s going swimmingly, thank you . . . until the day a shop door opens and she walks in.

She’s too intelligent to fall for the worst man in the world . . .

Jessica Trent is a determined young woman, and she’s going to drag her imbecile brother off the road to ruin, no matter what it takes. If saving him—and with him, her family and future—means taking on the devil himself, she won’t back down. The trouble is, the devil in question is so shockingly irresistible, and the person who needs the most saving is—herself!

  1. I am not surprised that this is your favorite of this author! It was so much fun reading this story. In Sebastian Ballister I kept seeing Gerard Depardieu’s (when he was younger) face. Very well developed and executed story. In one word – SATESFIYNG!!! I love it when author takes pride in her writing. A definite keeper and re-read=)

    • I loved the hero and the heroine; they were so funny. And when she deliberately shot him, I was like “whoa, what just happened?!” I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’ fun to find an author who writes books that can be enjoyed over and over again.
