A Lady Risks All

OpenRoad -

A rebellious beauty plays to win when she's asked to coach a soldier in the game of billiards in this historical romance by a RITA Award–winning author.

"Scott delivers a story reminiscent of Virginia Henley's works with its naughty, bawdy overtones. Sexy, smart and delightfully sinful, this steamy tale features characters who know themselves well and will take extraordinary risks to succeed despite the odds. This is a wonderfully satisfying read." —RT Book Reviews

It would be unwise to mistake me for an innocent debutante—for years I have graced the smoky gloom of many a billiards club and honed my skills at my father's side.

But now he has a new protégé—Captain Greer Barrington—and while my father would see me attract the attentions of an eligible lord I, Mercedes Lockhart, have other ambitions. . . . Even if that means seducing the captain to earn back my father's favor! I know I must avoid falling for Greer's charming smile . . . but his sensual kisses could be worth the risk. . . .

"Who would have ever thought billiards could be so seductive and entertaining to wind a romance around?" —BookLoons Reviews
