Lady Amelia Duval is used to being indulged. The reckless daughter of an earl has evaded each and every suitor her father has put before her. She’s finally pushed him too far, however, when her litter of mud-covered puppies upends a meeting between him and the darkly handsome Lord Chase Culver, aka the “Iron Lion of Barrosa.”

Chase stays calm in the face of disaster—such as when his uncle informs him of the fortune-crushing bet he lost in the notorious Lyon’s Den, landing him in the position of marrying Lady Amelia Duval—a woman he’s glimpsed only once—and bringing her to heel—or the loss doubles.

The stern tactician’s vow to tame the raven-haired beauty by any means hits a serious snag when he finds himself reluctantly drawn to his wife’s tender heart and unladylike eccentricities. But when she confesses she’s fallen head-over-heels in love with him, she unwittingly dismantles his entire scheme and achieves the unthinkable: the Iron Lion’s unconditional surrender.

But the terrible secret he guards about their marriage would destroy her. Now he’ll bet everything, his title, his wealth, his freedom, to protect the woman who owns him, heart and soul, even if it means losing her forever. Will his gamble on love win them a happily-ever-after, or cost them both all they hold dear?
