About this ebook

She can make any home gracious—but can she make him a gentleman? “Miranda Jarrett writes beautiful romance” (Patricia Gaffney, New York Times–bestselling author).

Cassia Penny runs a fashionable gaming house in Regency London. Her inspired style has always been admired . . . which is just the sort of talent Richard Blackley needs.

Blackley is a self-made millionaire, determined to establish himself as a proper London gentleman. When Cassia loses a wager, he collects by demanding her services to refurbish his decrepit estate—but finds her beauty the most gracious adornment his home could have.

Now, as she transforms the old house, she transforms Richard as well. The unlikely pair are drawn together—until an old secret from Richard’s past reappears. Will it tear them apart . . . or unite them forever?
