Although beautiful young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for certain: he’s a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her late husband’s life a misery, and she’ll never forgive him for it. But when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction through her. And then he introduces himself...as none other than West Ravenel. West is a man with a tarnished past. No apologies, no excuses. However, from the moment he meets Phoebe, West is consumed by irresistible desire...not to mention the bitter awareness that a woman like her is far out of his reach. What West doesn’t bargain on is that Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocratic lady. She’s the daughter of a strong-willed wallflower who long ago eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most devilishly wicked rake in England. Before long, Phoebe sets out to seduce the man who has awakened her fiery nature and shown her unimaginable pleasure. Will their overwhelming passion be enough to overcome the obstacles of the past? Only the devil’s daughter knows…

Love this one - I really like Phoebe as the lead character. I kind of want to go back and reread [b:Devil in Winter 114166 Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) Lisa Kleypas https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1309220205s/114166.jpg 1823830] and [b:Devil in Spring 30179647 Devil in Spring (The Ravenels, #3) Lisa Kleypas https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1467895208s/30179647.jpg 50618062] now, because I like these families so much.
These are just so consistently pleasant! The main issue here is that West Ravenel isn't nearly as terrible as he thinks he is, especially after exposure to his charm and kindness across the previous 4 Ravenel books. I'm a sucker for the the reappearance of the Wallflowers and their spouses, however, and this book has good heat. Plus it's nice to have a break from the female protagonists as virgins.
Once more, I highly recommend to Lisa Kleypas books... Here you can find:
A young widow, mother of two, somewhat depressed...
A former dissolute rake, that learned to live healthy doing a great job in “high agriculture”, being the trust man of a rising family empire/fortune...
Our hero, a “diamond” torment by demons who find love in the arms of a damsel in distress... Asked to help, he run to uncover the wrongdoings of her husband cousin and lived a hot relationship but persist in not seeing his true value.
But... An intelligent to be father in law willing to give to that poor soul an hand and finally our alpha hero and his true love overcome the last obstacle to found happiness... to marry and have their forevermore love...
