Wit, wagers, and one irresistible rogue—will she fold or raise for love?

Lady Joy Abarough may be the fifth daughter and sixth child in a house brimming with sisters, but she’s always been first when it comes to games of chance. Witty, daring, and ever ready to test her luck, Joy thrives on wagers—until one fateful bet changes everything. A harmless dare lands her locked in a room with Sir Jansen Winterstone, a man as charming as he is dangerous. When she loses to him at Piquet, he proposes a different form of payment—a single, scandalous kiss.

Never one to back down from a challenge, Joy accepts. After all, it’s just a kiss. But when her friends come to her rescue, she begins to wonder… did she escape just in time, or is her fate already sealed?

One reckless gamble. One stolen kiss. One man determined to win at any cost. Joy may have played the odds—but has she finally wagered her heart?
