But curiosity has enticed the prim, well-bred gentlewoman out of her safe haven - and into Derek Craven's dangerous world. A handsome, tough and tenacious Cockney, he rose from poverty to become lord of London's most exclusive gambling house - a struggle that has left Derek Craven fabulously wealthy, but hardened and suspicious. And now duty demands that he allow Sara Fielding into his world - with her impeccable manners and her infuriating innocence. But here, in a perilous shadow-realm of ever-shifting fortunes, even a proper "mouse" can be transformed into a breathtaking enchantress - and a world-weary gambler can be shaken to his cynical core by the power of passion... and the promise of love. 679378 1 5 1994 Dreaming of You (Gamblers, #2) total:737|5:358|4:209|3:142|2:24|1:4| 737 3104 939 57 5 9 false false Mon Feb 25 22:48:09 -0800 2008 Fri Jul 25 00:31:04 -0700 2008
