    About this ebook

    Alexander Randall, the Duke of Pembroke, returns from Scotland to find that the love of his life has married another.
    When the Duke wins her family's estate in a game of cards, Isabella Buckland knows she must seek him out and beg its return.

    The Duke has other ideas, however. He will return the estate to her family on one condition: Isabella must become his bride and provide him an heir.
    Torn between fear and desire, Isabella allows herself to be wooed by the rakish Alexander and soon both parties are in turmoil.

    Will this be a marriage of convenience? Or has the Duke gotten more than he gambled for? Could he be falling in love?
