  • "Jack Fortescu gambles to win, and this time his prize is not only his rival's lavish mansion but everything in it -- including the man's beautiful sister! But when it comes to games, Jack has met his match ... Left homeless by her brother's escapade, Arabella Lacey has two appalling choices: pack her bags -- or agree to marry the lunatic who's taken over her house. Why would such a handsome -- and outrageously wealthy -- man want such an unromantic arrangement? Arabella intends to find out, and have a little fun in the process at Jack's expense ... literally. As Jack discovers that his reluctant bride is no ordinary beauty, he feels a stir of admiration, among other emotions, that wasn't part of the bargain. Now he's the one with everything to lose ..."@en
  • "When a man is willing to gamble away both his family mansion and his own sister you know he has got a serious addiction. But what does the sister think about this situation? She has a few ideas of her own about this arrangement and it just might lead to real romance."
  • "Jack Fortescu, Duke of St. Jules, seeks to ruin Frederick Lacey; then, after Lacey's death, he goes to Lacey's country estate in inform his vanquished foe's half-sister Arabella, of her brother's demise. He then proposes marriage, and is surprised by her unwillingness to accept his generous offer. But Arabella realizes immediately that Jack has ulterior motives, and she is not sure that she is willing to give up the little independence she has at the ripe age of 28. She knows that her brother was a coward, but she doesn't understand why the duke wants her after ruining Frederick, even as she realizes that a woman without a male relative has very few options. When Jack finally claims Arabella, his plans for revenge are complete, yet he finds that he is getting far more than he bargained for."
