Chaperone Diana Price knew she was teetering on the edge of ruin. Her father had staked his fortune, and her virginity, at the card table – and lost! To the most notorious gamester in town…Nathan Wardale had money – plenty of it – but it was a long time since he’d been considered a gentleman. Still, he never intended to pursue this debt. Until he met Diana Price in the flesh and began to wonder just how long his honour would hold.

Lady Verity Carlow is poised, beautiful, charming, virginal. Her family's precious jewel. She knows she will marry whatever titled bore is chosen for her. But sometimes, in the dark of the night, she wishes she wasn't always so well-behaved. . .

Then she is snatched! Kidnapped by her family's enemy, gypsy lord Stephano Beshaley. And when this dark, dangerous unsuitable man takes Verity in his arms, he tempts her to do wicked, wicked things. And, shockingly, she does not want to be rescued - not one little bit!
