A Scandalous Marriage: A poker game leads to passionate romance

Charlotte Ramsey was born an heiress but that didn't stop her from trying to make her own way in the world even if it meant marrying a man her family scorned. When Damien Wynter catches a glimpse of Charlotte at her family's home, watch out! It's two weeks until her wedding to Mark but Damien knows how to play poker. When it comes to Charlotte, he is playing to win. When her marriage plans go up in smoke, Charlotte hears the tick of her biological clock resonating like a huge bell tower ringing off the hours. Charlotte certainly knows how to play poker and work the percentages of chance. The question is who is the better poker player and can the game lead Charlotte to what she never found before? Okay, Damien Wynter is definitely in that Alpha male category I hate --- so why then do I love Emma Darcy and this book? I just love the way Emma Darcy writes her heroines! They are not these thin anorexic women and in this romance Darcy dared to write a romance where the heroine (at least in her own eyes) is plain and not given this model-like appearance. It is the heroine's spirit and intelligence that electrifies. She may rebel against her father, but no one has anything on Charlotte Ramsey. When the going gets tough and she faces a challenge, she knows how to play poker with daring and gusto! Emma Darcy's heroines certainly are not submissive today when it comes to these Alpha Males...this heroine may bluff submissiveness but playing poker is no game for shrinking violets and she plays to win. I did like Emma Darcy's The Playboy Boss's Chosen Bride a bit better than this one just because I liked the hero a bit better. Nevertheless, the heroine is classic Darcy: intelligent, spunky and more than a pretty appearance.
