In the first installment of USA Today bestselling author Christi
Caldwell's Sinful Brides series, a bookkeeper-turned-lady takes a gamble
on a man she never meant to fall for.
Lord Robert Dennington, the Marquess of Westfield, has long reveled in
the freedom afforded him as the ducal heir. He knows he must someday do
right by the Somerset line, but he's in no hurry to give up his carefree
existence.
Helena Banbury is a bookkeeper in a gentleman's gambling club, adept at
analyzing numbers and accounts but helpless for lack of influence. She's
never belonged among the nobility on the gaming hell floors, but neither
does she feel completely herself among the men who run the Hell and Sin
Club, despite the fact that they are family. The once-illiterate girl
from the streets wants more than the gilded walls her protective cage
can offer.
When Robert mistakenly enters her chambers one night, Helena is forced
out of her predictable life and thrust into the glittering world of
Society. Will the charms of the marquess prove more perilous than any
danger she ever knew on the streets?
