If he wins this hand...
Shunning the glittering elite of high society Kieran, Baron Rothewell, prefers the dangerous pursuits of London's demimonde. Hardened by a tormented past, he cares little for anyone or anything. So how can he resist the wager proposed by the dissolute Comte de Valigny? A hand of cards for the possession of the comte's exquisite daughter.
Will he win her heart?
Abandoned by her highborn father—until he decides to use her—Mademoiselle Camille Marchand puts no trust in an aristocrat's honor, especially that of the notorious baron. She too is gambling—for her life—and Rothwell is just one more card to be used. But whatever dark desires run through his veins call to her own, and the heart plays its own game...winner take all!

Starred review from August 1, 2008
When the Comte de Valigny offers his daughter Camille Marchand as the prize in a high-stakes card game, Kieran Rothewell is surprised to realize thathe is willing to do anything to keep the other ruthless players from winning the lovely lady. But once Kieran has won Camille, he isntsure what do with her. Camille does her best to convince Kieran that marriage would offerpractical advantages for them both. To inherit her grandfathers considerable fortune, Camille must wed an English nobleman, and she is willing to share her inheritance with Kieran. Although Kieran could care less about Camilles money, he is not immune to her unique charm, but Camille soon discovers that marrying a rake isntthe simple business transaction she envisioned. Carlyle brings her Neville family trilogy to a splendidly satisfying conclusion with the captivating story of a deliciouslytormented hero who finds his romantic redemption with a delightfully unconventional heroine. Lushly sensual and lusciously witty, Carlyles latest historical romance is superb.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
