When the notorious Lord Tracy Belmanoir, Duke of Andover and also the infamous Black Moth, is caught attempting to abduct the dark-haired Diana Beauleigh by estranged Jack Carstares, the rightful Earl of Wyncham, he's sent scurrying after a thrilling sword fight. Injured in battle, Jack relies on Diana to nurse his wounds and, as their feelings for each other blossom, realizes that he must return to Wyncham, clear his name of previous accusations, and rightly take over as earl. But the Black Moth waits patiently to take what he wants—and he is relentless. Can Jack take over as earl, defeat the Black Moth, and finally be with the woman he loves?

Goodreads review by Tadiana ✩Night Owl☽ on March 03, 2020

I have a soft spot for Georgette Heyer, whose novels shaped my late childhood/teenage reading years. ‘Devil’s Cub’ is still my favourite and there are echoes of it here in the author’s debut novel.

Goodreads review by Jenny on November 19, 2009

Oh novel, how do I object to thee? Let me count the ways... 1. The title is a phrase that refers to the villian that is mentioned ONLY ONCE over the course of the novel. And it has something to do with the way he dresses. Really, guys? Can't we come up with something more, you know, related to the st......more
