THE LADY OF THE GAMING HOUSE

A sparkling, poignant Regency historical romance of double lives, secret identities, and undeniable desire.

Two lives. One daring night of freedom. A game where the heart risks everything.

By day, Miss Louisa Stapleton is the dowdy, self-effacing companion to her overbearing aunt. To Mayfair society, she is an invisible spinster paying penance for a long-forgotten youthful scandal. But when her family threatens to marry her off to an insufferably pious suitor, Louisa rebels—vowing to seize one unforgettable night of pure liberty.

Behind an exquisite feathered mask at London’s exclusive Soho Club, she transforms into Miss Valentine: a sharp-witted, magnetic Hazard hostess who commands the room and defies every rule.

Felix Evesham has had his fill of London's calculating debutantes. In search of peace, logic, and a compliant wife, he has all but settled on his godmother’s mouse of a companion—the quiet, sensible Louisa. But one encounter with the intoxicating masked temptress at the gaming tables shatters his cool detachment, unravelling every careful plan he ever made.

He is obsessed with tracking down the mysterious siren. She is terrified of discovery. As their dual worlds collide, will Felix embrace the passionate firebrand beneath the mask—or will the truth cost them everything?
