Captain Ewan Dalgleish

was as famous for breaking society's rules as for his daring exploits on the battlefield. Yet nothing could truly satisfy his need for excitement. . . until he laid eyes on beautiful Isabella Mansfield at the gaming saloon, staking her future on a turn of the cards.

Her enticing combination of sensuality and haughtiness intrigued him as much as his notorious reputation interested her. So when Belle loses the money she so obviously needs, Ewan can't resist making a scandalous wager: that in return for her money, she must spend three nights with him, each starting with the roll of the dice. . . and ending however the winner chooses. . .
