When her father gambles away the family estate to darkly dangerous Lord Dougal MacLean, Sophia MacFarlane is determined to use her wiles to regain it. Forced to stake the one thing she has left-her virtue-she desperately hopes her skill can limit her losses to a few kisses...no matter how hotly tempting Dougal turns out to be.
Dougal MacLean knows that Sophia has some trick up her sleeve, but her can't resist the challenge-or her ravishing beauty. So when she proposes a card game with most unusual stakes, Dougal is delighted to accept. But as the game ends, Dougal and Sophia discover they've wagered something even more precious-their hearts.
Review: Oh my. This was a quick read for me and if you like books that are fast-paced, good, and sizzling, then this is the book for you. Sophia MacFarlane finds out her father had just gambled the house away to a Lord Dougal MacLean and she plotted on taking the house back. So she works so hard to make the house ugly and horrible enough for him not to take it, but when he comes, he overhear her talking to Angus, a worker, about making the house horrible for him.
Oh, you devious, devious girl.
So Dougal played along, being putty in Sophia's hands until they start playing cards and things....things start to heat up. They have sex, Dougal loses the house to Sophia, thinking that Sophia tricked him into losing the house and he goes to his sister's house. Sophia was devistated for two days and her father tells her (after having a dream about his wife telling him to send her to Fiona's house) and they had a little fight, then they had sex in the tub that Dougal was going to bathe in.
After the lovemaking fest, Sophia and Dougal finds out that Sophia's mother's jewelry was missing. They search everywhere and found out at the end (after hearing Sir Reginald and Regina Kent, aka Miss Kent, get happy) that Sir Reginald sent it to the Earl of Ware and it turns out that the Earl of Ware was Sophia's granddaddy and Dougal asked Sophia to be his wife, in which she says yes.
I do recommend this book a whole lot if you like:
