About this title

Synopsis

A dangerous charade...

Sabrina Murphy has spent most of her life trying to live down the reputation of her gambler father. But when wrongly accused of murder, she is forced into a desperate scheme in an attempt to dodge the authorities.

When Sabrina arrives at the Trevelyan estate claiming to be a long-lost cousin, the family is justly suspicious--for acknowledging her means losing their inheritance to her. But even Lord Edward must admit that the woman bears a striking resemblance to the heiress, who disappeared when she was only a child. And there is no denying that her gentle presence works its magic on his troubled family--and that her passionate kisses help to mend his tattered heart.

But when a series of near fatal accidents threatens her life, the finger of guilt points straight at the dark lord, whose wife died under mysterious circumstances years before. Now there's more at stake than the Trevelyan fortune. Drawn together by a desire neither can resist, Sabrina and Edward struggle to uncover the truth. But her deception and his past could cost them their chance at love--and possibly their very lives....

From the Back Cover

Praise for Gambler's Daughter by Ruth Owen:

"An engaging Regency."
--Publishers Weekly

"Ms. Owen's first venture into historical romance is a roaring success."
--Rendezvous

"A wonderful love story, well written, with characters you will remember long after you've finished."
--Kat Martin, author of Dangerous Passions

"Ruth Owen writes with a wonderfully original voice. Gambler's Daughter is a feast for the senses from beginning to end!"
--Joan Johnston, bestselling author of The Bridegroom

"The plot was engrossing, the characters were refreshingly realistic, their passions volatile enough to affect my own. An intensely emotional story I would recommend to anyone who loves a brooding, tormented hero and an unlikely heroine who must heal her own heart before redeeming his."

"A marvelous read. Charming, witty and wonderful. Be prepared to stay up all night. I simply couldn't put it down."
--Patricia Potter, author of Starfinder
