About this book

Diana Price, a chaperon, faces financial ruin after her father gambles away both his fortune and her virginity to Nathan Wardale, a notorious gamester in town. Wardale possesses considerable wealth but has long ceased to be regarded as a gentleman. He initially has no intention of collecting on the debt. However, upon meeting Diana in person, he begins to question how long his sense of honor will remain intact.
