Wicked in Winter by Scarlett Scott
Devereaux Winter is one of the wealthiest men in England, but he hails from a notorious family. The Wicked Winters are as reviled as they are renowned. He is desperate to find a wife of good breeding so he can begin the Herculean task of seeing his siblings settled. Fortunately for him, the duke next door’s wits are addled. Even more fortunate? The duke’s only daughter is a beautiful spinster.
Lady Emilia King has sworn off love and vowed to remain unwed. When the brutish Mr. Winter wins her ailing father’s unentailed assets in a game of chance, she is aghast. Upon hearing his requirement for forgiving her father’s debt, she is outraged. She has no intention of marrying the villain and sponsoring his wild sisters in their seasons.
But Dev always gets what he wants, and Lady Emilia is about to discover what he wants more than anything is her. Far more astonishing, she just may want him too…

I have to say, this was a great start to a new series. The angst, the passion, the drama and even the humor were well met. My reason for only giving it 4 stars is that it was just a tad too short. The beginning and ending were just right, but there was something lacking in the body of the book. Something was missing. There was a gaping hole in the center of the book that, for whatever reason and whatever it is, there was some element not touched that should have been. It all happened too fast and kind of left the reader wanting more.
