Description

Three distinguished gentlemen of the ton embark on a quest for love in this enchanting new series set in the world of bestselling author Ella Quinn’s beloved Worthingtons. With a lively cast of family and friends, there is never a shortage of excitement—or romance.

Charlie, Earl of Stanwood, is enjoying an evening at his gentleman’s club when he overhears a shocking conversation at a nearby card table. Viscount Ognon intends to gamble away a property where members of his own family reside. Charlie has little patience for those who neglect their responsibilities, and though he seldom wagers, he always wins when he does. His streak continues, and the property soon belongs to him. His only goal is to see it returned to the rightful family member.

Miss Oriana Ognon knows all too well the perils of being related to men with a weakness for gambling. While the women in her family do their best to counter the losses, Oriana is fortunate—she inherited her estate from her maternal aunt and has no reliance on her reckless cousin, despite his repeated efforts to wager it away. So when the Earl of Stanwood arrives at her doorstep intending to hand over the property, she is quick to produce proof of her ownership—and offers him no refreshment for his trouble. Never mind that he is the most striking man she has ever seen.

Curious about the forthright and independent Oriana, Charlie determines to learn more about her and soon realizes she may be exactly the kind of wife he wants. Meanwhile, as Oriana discovers more about the honorable and intriguing earl, she finds herself increasingly drawn to him. But when schemers and rivals conspire to keep them apart, they may find themselves in a compromising situation of their own—one that just might lead to a love neither of them expected.
