Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, this lush historical romance delivers smoldering chemistry, dangerous aristocrats, forbidden attraction, and all the scandalous intrigue of London’s most intoxicating season.

Kieran, Baron Rothewell, is one of society’s most dangerous men—a darkly seductive rake with a scandalous reputation and a past he refuses to outrun. While the ton dances beneath crystal chandeliers, Rothwell prefers London’s forbidden underworld: smoky gaming hells, secret salons, and pleasures too wicked for polite society. Cynical, untamed, and utterly irresistible, he has long since sworn never to trust his heart.

Until one fateful night changes the rules of the game.

At an illicit gathering steeped in decadence and danger, the notorious Comte de Valigny proposes a shocking wager: a single hand of cards…for the hand of his beautiful daughter.

Mademoiselle Camille Marchand has spent her life surviving the cruelties of powerful men. Abandoned by her aristocratic father until she becomes useful to him, Camille has learned to rely on no one but herself. Intelligent, fiercely independent, and hiding secrets that could destroy her, she knows the infamous Baron Rothewell is every bit as dangerous as the world whispers.

But from the moment their eyes meet across the card table, sparks ignite.

As desire blazes between them, Camille and Rothwell are drawn into a seductive game filled with betrayal, scandal, and perilous secrets lurking beneath society’s glittering façade. Yet the greatest risk may be surrendering to the passion neither of them can resist.
