Miss Venus Merriwell has been waiting for her prince to come since the tender age of fourteen. She wants a man who is selfless, academic like her, and free from all the wretched vices her gambler father enjoyed far too much before he left the Merriwell sisters practically destitute. Unfortunately, after a slew of romantic disappointments, there is still no sign of that prince at twenty-three and the only one true love of her life is the bursting-at-the-seams orphanage in Covent Garden that she works tirelessly for. An orphanage that desperately needs to expand into the empty building next door.
For Galahad Sinclair, gambling isnât just his life, itâs in his blood. He grew up and learned the trade at his grandfatherâs knee in a tavern on the far away banks of the Hudson in New York. But when fate took all that away and dragged him across the sea to London, it made sense to set up shop here. Heâs spent five years making a success out of his gaming hell in the sleazy docks of the East End. Enough that he can finally afford to buy the pleasure palace of his dreamsâand where better than in the capitalâs sinful heart, Covent Garden? The only fly in his ointment is the perfect building heâs just bought to put it in also happens to be right next door to the orphanage run by his cousinâs wifeâs youngest sister. A pious, disapproving and unsettling siren he has avoided like the plague since she flattened him five years agoâ¦
While Venus and Galahad lock horns over practically everything, and while her malevolent orphans do their darndest to sabotage his lifelong dream, can either of them take the ultimate gambleâand learn to love thy neighbor?
