Winner Take All

by Laurien Berenson

Dani Hawthorne wasn't sure what game she was playing

Rick Malone changed the rules so often Dani didn't know if she was winning or losing. But Dani loved a challenge, and she tried her best to keep up with Rick, the brash newcomer to exclusive Westport, Connecticut. He turned their friendship into a battle of wits and their romance into a contest of wills--on and off the polo field.

For marriage-shy Dani, conventional courtship was out of the question, so Rick kept the competition exhilarating, the pace quick and the opposition off-balance. Otherwise, Dani was sure to guess the object of the game. Then they'd never know the thrill of winning, or savor the spoils of victory.
