"Georgette Heyer is unbeatable." --Sunday Telegraph. A beautifully repackaged edition of one of the best of the best. Renowned gamester and the first to admit that he is entirely void of a romantic disposition, Max Ravenscar regards all eligible females with indifference and unconcern. But when he meets the woman his young cousin Adrian is bent on marrying -- the beautiful Deborah Grantham, mistress of her aunt"s gaming house -- he finds that none of his experience in risk and gambling has prepared him for such a worthy opponent.
