Game of Rogues

Guinevere Woodville’s family is in trouble, after she has worked tirelessly on their behalf for a good deal of her life. Partly to blame for their sudden predicament, she thinks, is Gabriel Marchand, the ruthless owner of one of London’s most elite gambling clubs. Ginny did not raise her siblings single-handedly for nothing. She takes herself off to London, books a stay at the wonderful Grand Palace on the Thames, and confronts Gabriel. At first, he is dismissive, thinking nothing of Ginny and her problems. However, having also moved into the Grand Palace while his home undergoes renovation, he eventually comes to see her in full light and realizes a profound truth—that Ginny is worth treasuring. But how to court a woman far above your station, over whom you hold the key to success or ruin? Long (The Beast Takes a Bride) brilliantly plays it out, with swoony language and scenes and an abiding atmosphere of comfort, love, and grace.
