Sparks fly when a daring diva clashes with an ice-cold war hero in the newest thrilling romance in USA Today bestselling author Julie Anne Long' s Palace of Rogues series. She arrives in the dead of night, a mob out for blood at her heels: Mariana Wylde, the "Harlot of Haywood Street," an opera diva brought low by a duel fought for her favors. But the ladies of the Grand Palace on the Thames think they can make a silk purse from scandal: They' ll restore her reputation and share in her triumph. . . provided they can keep her apart from that other guest. Coldly brilliant, fiercely honorable, General James Duncan Blackmore, the Duke of Valkirk, is revered, feared, desired. . . but nobody truly knows him. Until a clash with a fiery, vulnerable beauty who stands for everything he scorns lays him bare. It' s too clear the only cure for consuming desire is conquest, but their only chance at happiness could lead to their destruction. The legendary duke never dreamed love would be his last battleground. Valkirk would lay down his life for Mariana, but his choice is stark: risk losing her forever, or do the one thing he vowed he never would. . . surrender.

"Smart, funny, and brimming with passion. " -- Julia Quinn "Julie Ann Long reinvents the historical romance for modern readers. " -- Amanda Quick "Long finds that delectable sweet spot with Angel in a Devil' s Arms, welcoming us all to the cozy warmth of the Grand Palace on the Thames with the peculiar blend of humor and pathos she writes with such aplomb. " -- Entertainment Weekly "Deploying her usual perfectly calibrated mix of irresistibly dry wit and superbly nuanced characterization, RITA Award-winning Long adds another winner to her Palace of Rogues series with this lushly sensual, exquisitely emotional, and gracefully written tale about two people desperately trying not to fall in love with each other. " -- Booklist (starred review) for Angel in a Devil' s Arms "Delightful. . . refreshing. Readers will enjoy this rich depiction of how the past informs but does not dictate the future. " -- Publishers Weekly for Angel in a Devil' s Arms "Sparkling banter, deep character insights, and a colorful supporting cast bring a clever scheme to life, setting up a series to savor. Historical readers will rejoice with Long' s return to the subgenre and will be intrigued by hints of the next ' Rogues' title.
