Caroline Jellicoe wants her freedom and independence and plans to use her gifted talent to get both.  Caroline is a card shark and dressing as a boy and going into a gaming hell proving her expertise has turned out easier and very financially lucrative than expected.  Now if her guardian Monroe Grisham, Duke of Chanceworth were to discover this sin nothing would be politely said between them but what he does not know will not hurt him or her.  After all he is the one that taught her to play and make sure you play to win.Roe has been raising Caroline or rather his mother has after the death of Caroline's brother.  Roe blames himself for the death, which is something that is not his fault but feels the proper punishment is to forbid his unworthy self to be loved.  Caroline disagrees with every thought Roe has and always wanted to be the woman he turned to for love and affection and continues her campaign to be his wife.  Roe knows it would all kinds of wrong to let them be involved but with both having strong will it is a matter of seeing who is more determined to get their way.The battle they are launching together is the survival of an orphanage they both deeply care about.  The problem is this institution and its director seems to tell two different stories.  Cash is going in but appears to be spent not on the needs of the place rather the director's gambling debt.  With her disguise having worked before Caroline intends to push the boundaries of proper society and see just what the director is up to.  Information flows freely when a man has too much to drink and Caroline is just the person to uncover every secret.Each book in this series has been a solid winner with great characters wrapped around a fascinating story of the steps we take to find the love we deserve
