Elizabeth Grafton, the Marchioness of Carlisle just married the man of her dreams. Or he was. Now, he barely spends time with her.

Can her wanton nature tempt her husband, or will he win their battle of wills?

His gambling hell is short staffed after firing his floor manager, and his half-brother has offered him a title—one he doesn't need or want.

Her apprentice is missing under sinister circumstances, and Scotland Yard refuses to lift a finger.

She sets out to find her apprentice on her own, but everywhere she turns, up pops Lucifer. He’s following her, and she’s growing suspicious about why that is. When he suggests they join forces, she reluctantly agrees. After all, one should keep their friends close and their enemies closer… she's just not sure which he is. Yet. Working together to find her missing apprentice, she worries about her ability to protect both her heart and her own secrets from the perceptive man. And as events play out, she must decide if Lucifer is the villain she is searching for… or just the devil who haunts her scorching hot dreams?

Book Description
In the time of a devastating pandemic, seven women and three men withdraw to a country estate outside Florence to give themselves a diversion from the death around them. Once there, they decide to spend some time each day telling stories, each of the ten to tell one story each day. They do this for ten days, with a few other days of rest in between, resulting in the 100 stories of the Decameron. The Decameron was written after the Black Plague spread through Italy in 1348. Most of the tales did not originate with Boccaccio; some of them were centuries old already in his time, but Boccaccio imbued them all with his distinctive style. The stories run the gamut from tragedy to comedy, from lewd to inspiring, and sometimes all of those at once. They also provide a detailed picture of daily life in fourteenth-century Italy.
