Olivia Ormhill hasnβt trusted a man since she was deceived by her betrothed. Yet thereβs something special about the destitute but dashing Lord Edmund. A rakish opportunist, perhaps, but heβs also disarmingly forthright and devilishly appealing. But when her former fiancΓ© returns to take the hot-tempered bluestocking for himself, both Olivia and Edmund must decide what their unspoken passion is worth, and whether theyβre willing to wager their hearts for it.
