A sparkling Regency romance from the queen of the genre

gaming house, must find a way to restore herself and her
aunt to respectability, preferably without accepting either
of two repugnant offers. One is from an older, very rich and

scion of a noble family whose relatives are convinced she is
a fortune hunter.
Max Ravenscar, uncle to her young suitor, comes to buy her
off, an insult so scathing that it leads to a volley of
passionate reprisals, escalating between them to a level of
flair and fury that can only have one conclusion...
