Blurb: 
In this spectacular new romance from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Jane Feather, fate deals one stubbornly single young woman and one deceptively heartless man a shocking hand in a high-stakes bet. But is love in the cards? Jack Fortescu gambles to win, and this time his prize is not only his rival"s lavish mansion but everything in it -- including the man"s beautiful sister! But when it comes to games, Jack has met his match. . . . Left homeless by her brother"s escapade, Arabella Lacey has two appalling choices: pack her bags -- or agree to marry the lunatic who"s taken over her house. Why would such a handsome -- and outrageously wealthy -- man want such an unromantic arrangement? Arabella intends to find out, and have a little fun in the process at Jack"s expense . . . literally. As Jack discovers that his reluctant bride is no ordinary beauty, he feels a stir of admiration, among other emotions, that wasn"t part of the bargain. Now he"s the one with everything to lose. . . .
