Is Love worth the gamble?


Lord Hugh Calvert has managed to disgrace himself again. He gambled and won a small fortune, as he usually does, but this time the pot included a ward. He has never been responsible for someone other than himself. Perhaps it would be best if he just turns the care of his new ward over to his mother, washing his hands of her. But he hadn't anticipated that Miss Wymond would be so intriguing... or so beautiful.


Miss Marielle Wymond has lost her entire family and is forced to rely on the good graces of her guardian until she reaches her majority. When he gambles with her life and she is sent to live with Lord Hugh, she wonders what fresh misery she will be subjected to. Will her new guardian be as terrible as the first one? What will she do if he's worse?
