Carolyn Jellico has a very handsome guardian, Monroe Grisham. He is a Duke but that isn't why she loves him. When she asks him to marry her, he refuses. He feels responsible for her brother's death. Time passes but her love does not. Caroline is determined to be her own person. If Roe will not marry her, she will stay single. How will she get the money she needs? By playing Vingt-et-un (a card game). To do this she goes to Rodale, a gaming hell, and plays there, disguised as a boy. When Roe finds out, he takes her to his town house so that he can keep an eye on her. Now the stage is set. When these two are together sparks fly and desire ignites. Roe and Carolyn are a passionate couple. I love their interaction. Roe is determined to see that Carolyn has everything and she wants him to understand that he is what she needs. There is a mystery to solve that will keep them busy. The ending was a shock. I never saw it coming. Don't miss A Little Bit Scandalous. It is a great romance entwined with a suspenseful mystery. You get the best of both worlds.
