A dynasty filled with secrets teeters on the edge of collapse as Sunday Times bestselling author J.R. Ward continues the thrilling saga of the Bradford family...

At first, the death of the head of the Bradford family was ruled a suicide. But then his eldest son and sworn enemy, Edward Baldwine, came forward and confessed to what was, in fact, a murder. Now in police custody, Edward mourns not the disintegration of his family or his loss of freedom... but the woman he left behind.

Lane Baldwine was supposed to remain in his role of playboy, forever in his big brother Edward's shadow. Instead, he has become the new head of the family and the company. Convinced that Edward is covering for someone else, Lane and his true love, Lizzie King, go on the trail of a killer - only to discover a devastating secret.

Now everyone's future is at stake for only one thing is certain: no matter what happens, the lives of everyone at Easterly will never be the same again.

Fresh Fiction describes it as "Dallas meets Downton Abbey... This is high drama, and it's mesmerizing."

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Devil's Cut by J. R. Ward is a gripping saga filled with high drama and passion reminiscent of a blend between 'Dallas' and 'Downton Abbey'.
