A gentleman gambler wagers his luck and his heart in the second of the
Hellions of Halstead Hall series from the New York Times
bestselling "grand mistress of storytelling" (RT Book Reviews) and
author of the Duke Dynasty books.
Mired in scandal after his parents' mysterious deaths, the notorious
Lord Jarret Sharpe agrees to run the family brewery for a year if his
Machiavellian grandmother rescinds her ultimatum that he marry or lose
his inheritance. But the gambler in him can't resist when beguiling
Annabel Lake proposes a wager: If she wins their card game, he must help
save her family's foundering brewery. But if he wins, she must spend a
night in his bed.
The outcome sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy all of
Jarret's plans and unveil the secret Annabel has held for so long. When
Jarret discovers the darker reason behind her wager, he forces her into
another one--and this time he intends to win not just her body, but also
her heart.
With her trademark "engaging characters and delightfully delicious
sensuality" (RT Book Reviews), Sabrina Jeffries weaves a steamy and
unforgettable historical romance.
