"Do we have a wager?"
"Yes. If I win, you forgive my father's debt. If you win, I'll give you a kiss."

While on a single–minded revenge mission to shut down a disreputable card sharp, Lord James, the Earl of Cambourne, discovers something he wasn't expecting. The man who's cheated him has left behind an innocent: his daughter Lucy.
This is more than he's bargained for, James cannot abide by the situation the wilful young lady has been left in – but he also wants his justice. The Earl's protective instincts are nearly as strong as the craving she ignites in his blood. Lucy is holding back from him, desperate to retain her dignity in the face of her dangerous situation. That is, until a price is made on her virginity, and James is the only man who can save her.

"A charming and sexy romp, Roll's newest Regency sweeps readers from the darkest streets of the commoner to the glittering drawing rooms of the elite. Roll's talent exposes the ever–present class differences of the time period with humour, witty dialogue, and lots of sexy tension." – Anne Black (RT Book Reviews)
