A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance -- including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury. Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness -- a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them.
