His dream of immeasurable riches in just within reach…
Jasper, Earl of Bourne has amassed many titles in life—Earl, Rake, and London’s Most Eligible Bachelor to name a few. With his twenty-fifth birthday fast approaching, and thus a full inheritance within his grasp, he dreams of adding a new title—the Richest. But there’s one catch. He has six weeks to make the beautiful Lady Lydia Remington fall in love and marry him. How hard can that be?

Her dream of revenge is close…

Lady Lydia Remington has witnessed the rapid demise of her father’s fortune. As each servant is dismissed and each painting sold, her lust for vengeance against the man responsible, the former Earl of Bourne, grows. Securing an invitation to the party of the man’s son—the new Earl of Bourne—her plan is simple. Lead the man into a private game of chance and take as much as she can from his coffers. Surely, she cannot lose…

He will do anything to secure her hand…

Jasper is delighted when he secures Lydia’s hand in a game of chance. The woman is beautiful and tempting, and he knows by the end of their honeymoon, her heart—and the remainder of his father’s holdings—will be his.

She will do anything to leave him…

The struggle between Lydia’s growing feelings for the handsome rake and her need for revenge becomes too much to bear, and Lydia decides to run away when the opportunity arises. But with her successful escape, she begins to wonder if she made the right decision. Should she honor her vows of marriage or the one she made to herself to exact revenge on the family who brought hers to ruin?

And Jasper may be London’s most notorious rake, but unless he meets the terms of his father’s will, he’ll miss out on becoming what he’s always dreamed of being—the wealthiest man anyone has ever known. But what does that mean for his heart?
