Devices & Desires : Blue Castle Publishing : 9781945112034 : 1945112034 : 05 Nov 2019 : A Little Less than Kin... From childhood, Lady Margaret Carlisle's life has been entwined with the rich, powerful, and contentious Lyons family, until her intended's untimely death five years ago. Now a widow, she finds herself drawn into their intrigues once more... and unexpectedly tempted by a brilliant, lonely man, whose friendship she has long taken for granted. And More than Kind... They call him the Clockwork Solicitor, the perfect lawyerly device. But the icy demeanor of Lord Gervase Lyons conceals a vulnerable heart-and an undying passion for the one woman he can never have: his dead brother's fiancée. Summoned to his family's Christmas gathering, where old wounds will be reopened, old quarrels revisited, and old secrets revealed, Gervase receives the chance to win her love at last.
