When American-born Ashlyn March reluctantly agrees to swap places with her daring heiress cousin and attend a house party during the London Season, she anticipates some awkward social moments—but not a broken carriage, an injured coach driver who’s actually a fourteen-year-old boy, and a thunderstorm that leaves her stranded at the doorstep of the most charmingly handsome man she’s ever met.

Gabriel Dawson, the Earl of Ravensthorpe, is no stranger to the games played at Mrs. Dove-Lyon’s notorious den—but nothing could have prepared him for the mysterious beauty who appears at his estate, soaked through and full of secrets. She’s clever, capable…and utterly captivating. As a gentleman, he offers her shelter. As a man, he finds it hard to keep his heart guarded.

Caught together by the storm, Ashlyn and Gabriel can’t deny the blossoming attraction between them. Even his own shadows of grief seem to lighten in her presence.

Ashlyn has always been gifted at healing others. Whether it’s a bird with a broken wing, a silent child, or a man who has lost belief in love—she gives herself generously. But the one thing she can’t give Gabriel…is the truth. Not without risking everything.

In the world of the Lyon’s Den, every game has a price…and love might be the greatest gamble.
