The Devil's Gift

Jackson Rafferty, second son of the 11th Earl of Devlin, held his dying brother in his arms and swore he'd avenge his murder. That pact made in blood led him to the back halls of Kingston Manor and the woman who would stand between him and pursuing the man Jack knew had killed his brother.

Miss Jenevieve Kingston has a secret. Keeping it is the only thing keeping her father alive. When a rogue by the name of Jack Dawson comes dangerously close to spoiling everything, Jenna forces him from her home. But not before he has worked his way into her heart.

Now he's back, proving he is not who she thought he was. But how can she trust him after weeks of deception?

Too long...blase' narration

I listened attentively (almost) through chapter 15 then skipped to the next to the last chapter. The same dialogue in chapter 15 was still occurring 10 chapters later. I enjoy Laura Landon's books usually, but this one was is not a fav. The narration was less than stellar, but I'm not sure if another narrator could have made a difference. I'm filing this book in the "never again" folder.
