About this eBook

USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh continues her Last Chance Scoundrels series with a steamy romance between two opposites—a rogue with a taste for wagers and a bookish wallflower—who marry for convenience... but neither bet on falling in love.

Finn Ransome is an expert on Lady Luck, which is why he refuses to take a chance on love. Experience has taught him that he’s happier at a gaming table than around people he will, inevitably, disappoint. However, the clock is ticking on his father’s matrimonial demands. But the only woman to catch his eye is a bluestocking who would never consider a rogue like him.

After a disastrous first Season, Tabitha Seaton decided to focus on books instead of ballrooms. She hopes to join the Sterling Society, a collective of the most brilliant, influential minds in London. Except, they will never admit an unmarried lady. Now Tabitha needs a husband, and a notorious, handsome gambler may be her best bet.

Finn and Tabitha are opposites who have no intention of wagering on a love match, and a calculated marriage of convenience solves all their problems—with no risk to their hearts. Once married, however, their potent attraction boils over into a deep passion that neither expected. When a painful mistake drives the new lovers apart, Finn will risk it all to prove a scoundrel and a wallflower are a winning pair...

Marriage of convenience! Can a gambler and a bluestocking find true love? The attraction between Finn and Tabitha is strong, but they believe love can only lead to heartbreak.They value each other’s gifts and heal each other’s wounds, yet still find it difficult to trust. It’s an emotional and entertaining story. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received.

Tabby and Finn have great mental and physical chemistry. One is a reader and the other an observer which allowed them to support each other's dreams and healing. The story is low-angst, but high steam. If you enjoy when easy conversation, opposites attract, supportive partners, and falling in love post wedding bells, then I highly recommend this book!
