Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a man named Dick Gordon, who was born with more money than brains and made a sincere effort to spend as much of it as he could in the shortest possible time. He is a regular at the Federal Club, a serene and dignified establishment that has watched the bustling city beneath it grow and grow for more than half a century. The Federal is a type of the life of the older city, aristocratic, dignified and reserved. One fateful night at the club, Gordon wins a great deal of money playing bridge with three men. The four men then celebrate his win with an excessive amount of champagne and Gordon, the worse for wear, tells the others that he is going to quit his playboy ways and settle down. The others laugh at him, but Gordon is serious. He has fallen in love with a woman named May Sinclair, and he knows that he needs to change his ways if he wants to win her. The book follows Gordon as he tries to change his life. He gives up drinking, gambling, and womanizing, and he starts working hard at his job as a stockbroker. At first, it is difficult for him to adjust to his new life, but he eventually succeeds and wins the love of May Sinclair. This book is a heartwarming story about how even the most unlikely people can change their lives for the better. It is also a reminder that it is never too late to find love. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

A tense tale of high-stakes risk and hidden motives in an old city club.
Loaded Dice follows a circle of power players whose fortunes hinge on a single game and a web of secrets that threaten to pull them under. The atmosphere is rich with 1900s urban detail, quiet rivalries, and the pull of dangerous choices that blur the line between luck and fate.
As the story unfolds, readers meet four men at a late-evening bridge table, each with their own ambitions, shadows, and loyalties. The narrative moves from smoky card rooms to the raw edge of crime, where a careless hand or a single misstep can cost more than money.
- Character-driven suspense centered on gambling, ethics, and personal history.
- Atmospheric scenes that evoke a bygone era of clubs, parlor games, and private agendas.
- Slow reveals that deepen tension without surrendering the mystery too soon.
- A gripping exploration of risk, consequence, and the price of deceit.
Ideal for readers who enjoy noir-inflected period drama, sharp character studies, and tightly paced thrillers that unfold in intimate settings.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
