She was woman enough to tempt a saint--and lady enough to be dangerous. Lady Cassandra Howard has frequented gambling hells as her father's lucky charm since childhood--but luck ran out along the way. Now, her brother intends to sell her into marriage with a wealthy, dissolute rake. Cass has done many things for her family, but this won't be one of them. Her neighbor, "Saint" Wyatt Mannering, Earl of Merrick, has chosen a bride--one as proper and virtuous as he. But when lovely Cass attempts to trick him into marriage with seduction, he's almost tempted--except she's much too naive to be a seductress and his conscience won't let him.
