Her Lady’s Gamble

This is a steamy historical romance short story (word count 5,815).

In her anger, Miss Alice Carter places a wager against the devastatingly attractive Mr Lucas Jones. If she wins their card game, she will take back her home and possessions that she believes Lucas to have cunningly and wickedly stolen away from her father.

But if she loses the wager, she must give Mr Jones what he has always desired and wanted.....she will have to give herself to him, forsaking all her virtue, but it is a price she is prepared to stake for a chance to wipe away the arrogant grin from Lucas’s face.

Alice just hopes that luck will be on her side, as she takes a deep breath, turns her cards, and allows fate to decide what her future holds!
