Devil’s Cub

Dominic Alastair, Marquis of Vidal, has inherited his father’s arrogance and a reputation for violence. When he plans to elope with the impressionable Sophia Challoner, her practical elder sister Mary takes Sophia’s place in an attempt to stop the scandal.

Vidal carries Mary to France before discovering the substitution, and their confrontation becomes more dangerous than either expected. The journey forces Mary to rely on judgement and courage while Vidal is made to confront the consequences of treating other people as instruments of his will.
