The Gamble [READS eBook]. Grand Central Publishing, 2001. Format: OverDrive Adobe PDF eBook, Filesize: 700kB. Georgiana Newbury and her sister Anna are left penniless by the sudden death of their father--a criminal who blackmailed five men for cheating at cards (or on their wives). The only way she can now survive, and save her sister, is to gamble herself on the risky prospect of marriage. Using her father's blackmail files, she compels Lord Winterdale to present her during the courting season in London. But unbeknownst to her, the old Lord is dead--and the Winterdale Lordship has now passed to his young nephew, Philip. For his own reasons, he agrees to Georgiana's plan. Both will end up with more than they gambled on. "Ms. Wolf has a unique style that appeals to her audience on many levels. Her books not only tell a story, they paint a portrait of a time period.".
