Miss Deborah Granthams only legacy from her late father was the skill at cards she had learned in the gambling dens that had been the home of his ruin. Now that skill was Deborahs sole means of support in Londons most exclusive gaming club. But her beauty stood to win her still more. Lord Adrian Mablethorpe offered her his wealth to be his wife. Lor Ormstock offered her even greather inducements to be his mistress. Yet it was the insufferably arrogant, maddeningly magnetic Mr. Ravenscar who made her the offer hardest to refuse...to play him a game of winner takes all...a game in which the first one to fall in love would lose.
An enthralling novel of England's glittering Regency era, and of a dazzling young gaming-house wench who played for the highest stakes of all....
