The Devil's Own (The Wicked Waywards Book 1)

Lord Devlin Wayward, gambler and dedicated rake, returns home for the first time in years, and lands himself and his identical twin, Daniel, the good reverend, in deep trouble. Devlin ends up with a broken leg and unable to travel to London, yet he must return. He's got an important deal that will make or break his fortune. He persuades the reluctant reverend to take his place in London while he temporarily minds his brother's flock.. Miss Mary Tomblin is taken with the devastatingly handsome reverend. He represents everything she desires in a husband, after narrowly evading a ruthless rake last Season. Mary knows she'll make him an excellent wife, but the vicar rebuffs every advance - until he suddenly accepts her help with pastoral duties while his broken leg heals. Mary seizes the chance to show the good reverend what an excellent helpmeet she will be.. The devil takes on the role of village vicar and discovers it's nowhere near as easy as he imagined - especially when he falls in love with an angel who mistakes him for a saint.
