Summary

The notorious bastard of a duke.

Leo Murphy believes in playing the odds, as long as the house wins. As the owner of Elysium, London’s most exclusive gambling hell, Leo’s existence depends on predicting his opponent’s next move. Rarely is he surprised. Until he meets the Lord Masterson's young bride losing at cards.

Georgina is beautiful, intelligent, possessed of a razor-sharp wit and a rebellious nature. She is completely unexpected. Leo is so struck by Georgina he doesn’t know whether to bed her or befriend her. He decides to do both.

A rebellious young American.Wed to the scandalous and elderly Lord Masterson, Georgina detests London. Mocked for her accent and her family’s pedigree, she wants nothing more than to return to New York. When the wickedly attractive Leo Murphy offers to teach her how to play cards, she assumes he merely wishes to admire her bosom. She’s half in love with him before the evening ends.

A wager that ruins them both.

One unforgettable night with Leo leaves Georgina compromised in both heart and body. Now she’s keeping secrets from everyone, especially Leo. Will he forgive her? Or let Georgina go forever?

Superb

I’ve listened to a lot of historical romance books, and this one is my favourite. It has left a lasting impression on me. The journey of Leo and Georgie, the miscommunications between them. The connection between them was so strong, it went beyond just the physical attraction. Leo was particularly a complex character, and I found him frustrating at times. But at the same time very compelling.

I highly recommend listening to book one before this one. The important information given in it is essential in order to understand Leo’s motivations and behaviour.

I really recommend listening to the whole series. I’m only disappointed that the other books are not available on audible. This author is an incredible talent, and deserves her whole collection of books to be available here.
