Summary
Summary
New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath's next novel in The Chessmen: Masters of Seduction series where the price is always high...
American Leonora Garrison has come to England in desperate search of investors to keep her family business afloat but instead finds surprising pleasure when she visits an exclusive ladies' club and dares to kiss a stranger, who leaves her yearning for more.
With a libertine for a father, Viscount Wyeth, more commonly known as Rook, vowed to live his life above reproach, with nary a hint of disgrace. Until one night, he takes a mysterious beauty into his arms, a lady who tempts him to cast his sterling reputation aside in favor of more wicked pursuits.
When fate reunites the couple, they are torn between desire and duty. Leonora may want the viscount, but she needs a stakeholder not a lover. When caught in a compromising situation that places everything they hold dear at risk, they must determine how best to win. However, in this scandalous game, nothing except love takes all.

Library Journal Review
American Leonora Garrison has come to England in search of support for her family's business. Securing the interest of the Chessmen investors would guarantee their success. Her marriage-minded mama, however, is not subtle in her attempts to also throw Nora in front of every eligible titled lord. In an unusually adventurous spirit, Nora visits the Elysium and requests a kiss; little does she suspect that the gentleman who comes to satisfy her request is Viscount Wyeth, one of the Chessmen. The viscount, Rook to his friends, has strictly controlled every part of his life to create an unblemished reputation after the scandalous life of his dying patriarch. When he kisses Nora, he has no idea that it will spark the flames of ravenous passion that he always feared would be his inherited downfall. Yet he cannot resist this curiously extraordinary woman. When they are caught in a scandal, the reputational damage might be worth it. VERDICT Featuring a strong, independent heroine to break down Rook's walls, this slow-burn romance from Heath (The Notorious Lord Knightley) pays off, and the appearance of endearing series characters will please fans. Hand to readers who like Sarah MacLean and Christy Carlyle.--Morgan Lockard
