Description
Love and peril collide when the aristocratic Gwendolyn Lanscarr takes on the dangerously alluring Beckett Steele in the third book in New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell's enthralling Gambler's Daughters series.
From the moment the enigmatic Mr. Steele "almost" kissed her on a Dublin street, her world was forever altered. He commands the respect of rogues and nobles alike . . . and Gwendolyn owes him a favor.
She believes he owes her a kiss.
Beckett is a lone wolf. However, he needs Gwendolyn to discover the secrets of his past. He has no choice but to seek her help-even though she threatens the walls he has carefully erected around his heart.
He doesn't need a woman in his life; she knows he can't live without her.
Together, they must navigate a world of deception, where love defies the odds and secrets threaten to unravel everything they hold dear. Will they find a future together, or will the past tear them apart?
