Books like The Devil's Bargain by Karen Harbaugh
Set in Regency England, The Devil’s Bargain follows Eveline Seton, a humble merchant’s daughter who resists the charms of the attractive blueblood Lord Richard Clairmond.
Clairmond’s rising status and hidden tales of many beloved ladies contrast with Eveline’s lower station, all while a sinister pact with the devil hangs over the aristocrat’s fortunes. The novel explores themes of love, social ambition, and the moral cost of power.
Through romance and historical detail, the narrative unfolds the tension between personal desire and the temptations of class and supernatural bargains.
