A cynical rake joins a sinister game of cards with dangerously seductive stakes. Abandoned by her highborn father --until he decides to use her--Mademoiselle Camille Marchand puts no trust in an aristocrat's honor, especially that of the notorious Kieran, Baron Rothewell. She too is gambling--for her life--and Rothwell is just one more card to be used. But whatever dark desires run through his veins call to her own, and the heart plays its own game --winner take all.
