Description

A sexy historical romance from USA Today bestselling author Amy Sandas where an infamous gambling hell teaches a wallflower of the ton that there is pleasure to be found in falling—and sometimes being a little bad can feel so very good.

Emma Chadwick always assumed she'd live and die the daughter of a Regency gentleman. But when her father's death reveals a world of staggering debt and dangerous moneylenders, she must risk her good name and put her talent for mathematics to use, taking a position as bookkeeper at London's most notorious gambling hell. Surrounded by vice and corruption on all sides, it is imperative the ton never discovers Emma's shameful secret or her reputation—and her life—will be ruined.

But Roderick Bentley, the hell's sinfully wealthy owner, awakens a hunger Emma cannot deny. Drawn deep into an underworld of high stakes gambling and reckless overindulgence, she soon discovers that to win the love of a ruthless scoundrel, she will have to play the game...and give in to the pleasure of falling from grace.

        Sandas (Relentless Lord) provides an entertaining atmosphere, but the story starts painfully slowly. Roderick Bentley, illegitimate son of a nobleman, owns a very classy gambling den in Regency-era London. Emma Chadwick is the 25-year-old guardian of her debutante sisters, and has inherited vast debts from her gambler father. Eventually, Emma answers an ad that brings her to Roderick's establishment as bookkeeper, and although Emma and Roderick are attracted to one another immediately, Emma insists on dealing with her responsibilities without recourse to Roderick's non-respectable resources. Additionally, Roderick's parentage makes him scandalous to know in polite society, and maintaining a closer connection could ruin Emma's sisters' hopes. Sandas's characters are well-drawn and their attraction sizzles; after the pace picks up, there's plenty of fun. Agent: Nalini Akolekar, Spencerhill Associates.

        As the eldest, Emma Chadwick is charged with seeing that her two younger sisters find good matches to ensure their future. Having spent the last several years caring for her parents, Emma has no time for a season of her own. Nor any money for one. During a chance encounter at a ball while hiding from a horrid suitor, Emma tosses aside her demure manner and kisses the man helping her hide. Little does she know that he is Roderick Bentley, the notorious owner of a scandalous gambling club. Facing financial ruin, Emma must find a job where she won't be recognized. Using her proclivity for mathematics, she goes to work as a bookkeeper for Bentley's club. Roderick finds himself intrigued by this contradiction of a woman, and much as she tries, Emma cannot fight the growing attraction she feels. In a bold move, she wagers it all to help save her family and places her future in Roderick's hands. Sandas begins her Fallen Ladies series with a smart and sexy opener.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
