As the Devil Dares by Anna Harrington is book Three in the "Capturing the Carlisles" Series. This is the story of Lord Robert Carlisle and Mariah Winslow. I have read the other books in this series (and Loved them!) but feel this is easily a standalone book.
Robert has been building up his wealth and connections for the past two years his main desire is to be a partner in the Winslow Shipping and Trade. Winslow Shipping and Trade is owned and operated by Henry Winslow, it is one of the biggest Merchant shipping company in Britain. One day while talking to Mr. Winslow about what Robert heard that Mr. Winslow might be expanding shipping routes and adding a partner, Robert learns that Mr. Winslow's daughters are a issue for him. Mr. Winslow goes on to say that his daughters, Mariah and Evelyn are in their seven and fifth season and with the oldest Mariah has a nickname 'The Hellion'. While talking 'The Hellion' was heard to be racing down the street with her sister by her side. Mr. Winslow turns to Robert and reports if Robert can find a respectable Gentleman by the last day of Parliament (about 7 months) to Marry Mariah, that he will give Robert a 20% partnership in his company. That is a deal Robert can't turned down.
Mariah had always had hopes of becoming a partner in her father's business and had no real attention of marrying. But when she learns what her father and Robert are doing she doesn't take it well.
Both Mariah and Robert where characters that you really enjoyed reading about. They had similar issues with a parents death and feeling responsible for it.
I found this book hard to put down! Just Loved it!!
