A reckless gamble. A reluctant bride. A love neither of them expected.

Anna Mosley has lived her life in the shadow of her father’s debts, her reputation hanging by a thread. But when he wagers her hand in marriage during a drunken card game, Anna finds herself promised to the one man she vowed to avoid — the infamous Duke of Falconbridge.
Hugh De Wolfe, sixth Duke of Falconbridge, never intended to take a wife — until a twist of fate delivers Anna into his path. Fiery, defiant, and entirely unimpressed by his title, she is everything he didn’t know he needed. But claiming her hand may prove far easier than earning her heart.
Thrown together by scandal and bound by desire, Anna and Hugh must navigate London society, whispered secrets, and their own growing feelings for each other. As passion flares and their carefully built walls begin to crumble, one question remains:

Can love be won when the stakes were never fair?

This is the second installment of The Forbidden Love Series. It can be read as a standalone novel.
