About This Book

USA Today bestselling author Jo Goodman delivers a deliciously wicked tale of forbidden desire that knows no limits…Olivia Cole is devastated to learn that her ne’er-do-well brother has promised her to the operator of a London gaming hall as payment of his debts. Olivia accepts her fate—even if it means that her reputation will suffer from living among rogues and gamblers.
