About this series
Follow adventurer Alex Crenshaw from the ancient cities of Assyria to the fashionable soirées of London high society, where he'll have to face the greatest challenge of them all: his long-lost love...
~~~
"Romantic, witty, and slyly provocative,
The Devil's Return will curl your toes and make you sigh. I loved it!"
~ USA Today bestselling author Delilah Marvelle
~~~
Seven years ago Fran and Alex were very much in love. Yet because Alex was only a younger son, with no fortune nor prospects to speak of, Fran's family pressured her into breaking the engagement and marrying a rich, titled man instead. Bitterly disappointed, Alex left England for the New World.
Now he is back, more dangerous and more cynical than ever before. He has found fame and fortune as an adventurer, traveling the world from America to the Near East and writing about his travels for Allan's Miscellany. He has come to London to drum up interest for his friend Layard's excavations in the old Assyrian city of Nimrod and soon finds himself the darling of society.
Meanwhile, fate has been not so kind to Fran. After a disastrous marriage, which has left her with deep emotional and physical scars, she is widowed and lives in genteel poverty in a small cottage on her late husband's country estate. She has come to London to see her doctor.
By chance, Alex and Fran's paths cross again. They both have changed so much and they are still divided by past betrayals and past hurts. So surely there can be no second chance for their love...

"[T]hese books are dang cute. So freaking cute. You just get happy by reading." ~ Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell It's 1839, and Lord Eglinton's tournament in Scotland is the most anticipated event of the year: he and some of his noble friends will don medieval armor and joust like knights of old. Does this mean a revival of true chivalry? Miss Florence Marsh thinks it might. Or is the tournament mere tomfoolery and the greatest folly of the century? Mr. Robert Beaton thinks it is. But when Flo and Robbie meet at Eglinton Park, they'll soon learn that a dash of romance can make the greatest differences look rather small and that true love might find you in the most unlikely place. If only Robbie wasn't working for that scandalous new magazine Allan's Miscellany! If only Flo's father didn't detest the periodical press! And if only they had remembered to bring an umbrella!

A secret inheritance, a chance encounter, and two lovers caught in a web of deceit and lies. ~~~ "Once again [Schwab] weaves brilliantly researched historical details into a story that is not only irresistibly romantic, but also sparkles with wit. To top it off, she has come up with an enchanting couple that truly earns their happy ending." ~ Tina Dick, LoveLetter ~~~ Her whole life Sarah Browne has been told how plain she is, how nondescript, destined to become an old maid. For years she has been her family's dutiful nursing maid, but now a secret inheritance and an encounter with an artist, the charming Mr. Pelham, seem to offer her a chance to break out of her life of duty and drudgery - if she dares to take it. Yet how could such an interesting, witty man be possibly interested in her boring self? And so, Sarah soon find herself entangled in a web of lies and deceit, which might cost her the love of her life.
