How to Love a Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrneis the first book of the Devil You Know series and a wonderful start of the series.

This author is one of my favorites so I was so excited to read it. I loved all the characters, but this book was Piers and Alexandra’s story.

Piers, the Duke of Redmayne, needed to get married and have an heir, so he decided to honor a childhood betrothal. Lady Alexandra arrived at his estate after receiving an invitation from one of her best friends, Francesca.

The Red Rogues (Francesca, Cecelia and Alexandra) were close friends from school and had bonded over childhood secrets. Francesca was trying to avoid marriage to Piers. Alexandra is being blackmailed and decides to marry Piers in order to have his protection.

There are several mysteries happening in the book with lots of unexpected twists. It kept the reader’s attention throughout the book. I can’t wait to read Francesca and Cecelia’s stories.
