The battle of the sexes rages deliciously in this fast-paced historical from New York Times bestselling author Jane Feather. When gambler Jack Fortescu, Duke of St. Jules, beats Frederick Lacey at cards, he wins everything -- two houses, stables, dogs, horses, tenants, servants, and Frederick's beautiful sister, Arabella. Although he already has a mistress, Jack impulsively proposes to Arabella. Marrying the duke seems a high price for Arabella to pay for keeping her home, but she's determined to right the balance in the marriage and does so with ease. Ultimately Arabella uncovers the real reason behind Jack's relentless pursuit of her brother -- and it leads her straight to the prisons of Paris, in the aftermath of the French Revolution.
