And marriage is forever! Will her parents allow her to reconsider? Absolutely not. War hero, Devlin Brookes, is ready to marry and thinks Sophia Babineaux might be the one. One itsy bitsy problem: she's engaged to his cousin, Harold. But Devlin knows his cousin! and damned if Harold hasn't been coerced into this betrothal by the Duke of Prescott, his father.

Once set in motion, matters quickly spiral out of control! Caught up in tragedy, regret, and deceit Sophia and Devlin's love be-comes tainted. If they cannot cope with their choices they may never find their way back once embarking on their journey... To Hell in a Hand Basket...

Hell in a Handbasket is book two of the Devilish Debutantes series by Annabelle Anders. These books just keep getting better and better. Miss Sophia Babineaux is betrothed. But her life is turned upside down when she narrowly escapes death one day and is rescued by Captain Devlin Brooks. This story has one of the most heart pounding kissing scenes I have ever read. “Ever so slowly, he lowered his mouth to her. “Just a taste,”he murmured. At first, she compressed her lips-a feeble protest – while he used his own to coax and persuade. But then…ah,yes. Giving in with a sweet sigh, her mouth softened beneath his. Dev took full advantage of her acquiescence and slid his tongue along the relaxed seam. Honeyed lips opened for him.” Bravo Ms. Anders!
