I absolutely loved this book! When Nicholas, a bored, self destructive business man finds himself in a poker game with a man desperate enough to use his daughter to cover a bet, he decides to teach the man a lesson by accepting. When Nicholas wins, he has no intention of taking the man's daughter, but wants to scare him so that he won't do it again. However, when Nicholas meets Lexie, he forgets his plan and takes her - telling himself she would be better off with him, but he gets more than he bargained for.The story is packed with chemistry between Nicholas and Lexie. I really enjoyed the humor in their relationship, and the love scenes were sexy but not overly explicit. The other characters were equally entertaining. The historical accuracy of the settings really added to the story. I look forward to more romance books from this author.
