She is Angelica Douglas, the Countess of Melrose. Driven
to poverty by the men who bankrupted her father, forced to
support her family with skillful cheating at cards and
dice, she yearns for revenge. And she is not above
enlisting the aid of a chivalrous, handsome stranger to
get it.
nnHe is Robert Campbell, Marquess of Argyll,
heir to the Duke of Inverary. Intrigued to learn his own
father is one of her intended victims, he decides to keep
a careful watch on the enchanting Angelica. His desire for
her is a most unwelcome complication, for the tragedies of
his first marriage taught him all too well the damage that
love and its lack can do. But when danger begins to stalk
them both, he realizes that the best way to protect the
stubbornly independent thief is to marry her. Now all that
remains is to tempt an unlikely angel to be his bride. n
