Description

Historical Romance.

Abigail Broughton is amazed to receive an offer of marriage from Lord Jasper Cuddesdon, saturnine son of the Earl of Cutteslowe. They have met only twice, and the man has an evil reputation as a gambler and rakehell. Abby turns him down out of hand, but Lord Jasper is not so easily dismissed.

Sir Thomas, her father, is notorious for his weakness for cards. In one night’s play, he loses everything to Lord Jasper – who offers him an easy way out. All the wagers will be revoked if Sir Thomas will pledge the services of his daughter as a bond-slave on Lord Jasper’s Virginia estate. Sir Thomas accepts and Abby’s fate is sealed.

She expects no mercy from her new master but on the voyage out meets plantation owner Lance Howarth, a man stamped in a very different mould. Handsome, considerate and a former bond-slave himself, Abby is confident that if any man can win her from the devious Lord Jasper, it will be Lance. But as a gambler’s daughter she should know better for no one can predict the turn of the dice.
