Genre: Adult Fiction (Historical Romance)

Publisher: Avon

An enthralling and steaming romance between a widowed lady and a Scot on the run—who may have connections to one of London's most noble families.

Lady Merritt Sterling, a strong-willed young widow who’s running her late husband’s shipping company, knows London society is dying to catch her in a scandal. So far, she’s been too smart to provide them with one. But then she meets Keir MacRae, a rough-and-rugged Scottish whisky distiller, and all her sensible plans vanish like smoke. They couldn’t be more different, but their attraction is powerful, raw and irresistible.

From the moment Keir MacRae arrives in London, he has two goals. One: don’t fall in love with the dazzling Lady Merritt Sterling. Two: avoid being killed.

So far, neither of those is going well.

Keir doesn’t know why someone wants him dead until fate reveals his secret connection to one of England’s most powerful families. His world is thrown into upheaval, and the only one he trusts is Merritt. Their passion blazes with an intensity Merritt has never known before, making her long for the one thing she can’t have from Keir MacRae: forever. As danger draws closer, she’ll do whatever it takes to save the man she loves . . . even knowing he might be the devil in disguise. 

Devil in Disguise is the seventh book in the Ravenels series by Lisa Kleypas. This was such a fun story! It was full of flirting and banter. Very steamy too! Kier is Scottish perfection. He was one of those characters that had a presence.  I mean, for a fictional dude, he makes an impression. I enjoyed Merritt's way too. She knew just how to handle Kier and keep him in his place. She had her own mind,  and did what she wanted. These two were adorable and deliciously snarky together... probably my favorite couple of 2021. And the wedding? I loved that part the best. It wasn't at all the wedding I pictured, but it was so very fitting.
