Dair Devil

A Georgian Historical Romance

The Roxton Family Saga is unsurpassed Georgian romance —Cheryl Bolen, NY Times bestselling author

Roxton Family Saga Book 3: Dair and Rory’s Happily Ever After

1770s London and Hampshire.
Alisdair ‘Dair’ Fitzstuart, hero of the American Revolutionary war and heir to an earldom, known by all as a self-centered womanizing rogue. But his dashing and rugged façade hides a vulnerable man with a traumatic past. He will gamble with his life, but never his heart, which remains his own.
Aurora ‘Rory’ Talbot, is a spinster and pineapple fancier who lives on the periphery of Polite Society. An observer but never observed, her fragile beauty hides conviction and a keen intelligence. Ever optimistic, she will not be defined by disability.
One fateful night Dair and Rory collide—the attraction is immediate, the consequences profound. Both will risk everything for love.

Romance. Drama. Intrigue. Family secrets. There’s never a dull moment for the 18th Century’s first family.
