He Wants Vengeance For His Friend's Death. She Wants Vengeance For Her Aunt's Broken Heart. What Fate Holds For Them, They Could Have Never Imagined.
When Miss Loraine Beauchampβs parents pass away, she is sent to live with her embittered Aunt Esther in America. Poisoned by her auntβs disdain for love and men alike, Loraine scorns any man with the nerve to pursue her and swears that she will never marry.
Lord Philip Everton, the Marquis of Blackhill, is a known rogue and womanizer. He uses alcohol and gambling to distract him from the pain of losing his mother and a dear friend who committed suicide when his heart was broken.
When he attends a ball, he unexpectedly comes face to face with the woman responsible for his friendβs death. When his friends challenge Philip to try and win her, he agrees, with every intention of proving his merit as a womanizer.
And also take his revenge on this treacherous woman and utterly break her heart into pieces...
But what Phillip doesnβt know is that Loraine has a devious plan of her own, for he is the son of the man who shuttered her auntβs hopes decades earlierβ¦
Philip and Loraine will enter a perilous game of gambling with each otherβs feelings and when the truth of their intentions is revealed, no one will be able to say who wins and who loses.
