Synopsis: A woman gambles on her heart in this captivating Georgian romance from the author of the Golden Chronicles, “the superstar of the period romance” (Library Journal).A lovely young widow finds herself torn between two men—a dashing rake and a stodgy, but reliable admirer—in an eighteenth-century England confronted with the choice between the Hanoverian and Bonnie Prince Charlie.“The writing is witty and spry and makes use of expressions and idioms that feel authentic, and there is plenty of detail about the fashions, décor and customs of the day, so those of us who like a bit of history in our historical romance certainly won’t be disappointed . . . a light-hearted, frothy read overall.” —All About Romance
