The Devil's Temptation by Kimberly Logan

A debauched ball, packed with London's seediest revelers, is no place for the decent young woman I've tried so hard to be. But if I'm to avoid my mother's shameful scandal that led to her still-unsolved murder-I, Lady Maura Daventry, must be willing to hunt everywhere for the truth about her killer. But I never expected I would encounter the devil himself: the Earl of Hawksley (Gabriel Sutcliff), a wicked, charismatic rakehell who has set ton tongues wagging by bedding women all over London . . . and whose father was the prime suspect in the murder of his married lover - my mother.
But new evidence seems to suggest another culprit was responsible-and the only man offering to assist me in my hunt is the dangerously seductive Hawksley, who, alas, grows more intriguing to me by the hour.
I have heard the stories of his grand indiscretions. But I never dreamed I would become one.

This is the second book in what I think is a trilogy. The first book is Sins of Midnight and is about her sister who is mentioned in this book but not really seen until the end. I liked this book, the heroine occasionally got on my nerves but not enough that I did not like the book.
