Ransom Earl of Leahaven and his fellow cohorts were called the Devil's Trio. A group known for their rogue ways and none had the intention of changing. At a ball Ransom is offered a bet he cannot turn down. He is to whisk the plain and untouchable Winifred off her feet and convince her to marry him, but not actually marry her. Ransom takes that bet and soon finds her company satisfying to his rejected soul. When the day comes for them to run away together, he cannot shake the feeling he is not good enough for her.

It has been five torturous years since Winifred has last seen Ransom. Much has changed since then. She no longer believes any man worth her attention and believes they are all after her money. At a ball she finds none other than the penniless Earl of Leahaven in attendance. But he is not just at the ball, she continues sees him everywhere. The chance meetings along with the fact that someone is trying to kill her make Winifred believe Leahaven is the one making the attempts on her life.

Jodici Belle shows great promise as a writer of Regency romances. She drew me in and had me chewing my nails and waiting breathlessly to find out what would happen next. Ransom and Winifred are a couple to show all of us how important forgiveness and moving forward can be. A Devil's Proposal is a well-constructed tale of forgiveness and trust. And I hope to see more from her in the future.
