Publisher Description
Damien Northcutt is a gambler, a rake, a bastard, and… bored. Madeline Barnes is a botanist, a lady, an innocent, and… curious.
When Damien accidentally plays knight-errant and rescues Madeline from the clutches of her scheming relatives, he discovers she might be the key to getting what he’s always wanted—revenge.
Even though Damien has warned her repeatedly he is no gentleman, Madeline is sure deep down underneath his rakish demeanor he is a hero. Why else would he secret her out of a ball to safety?
Damien’s plan includes seduction but not marriage. What he doesn’t expect is being seduced himself by Madeline’s smiles and laughter and passion. But she is meant for Damien’s half brother, and enacting his revenge means ruining the match… and breaking her heart.

The Courtship Calculation
This was a wonderful read, I only wish it didn’t have so much explicit sexual content.
Great characters
What an enjoyable book this was! I bought this book because I read a short story about “Duke” Barnes and Pru in, “I like big Dukes….and I can not lie.” The story mentions that Jame’s sister threw over the heir to a dukedom for a gambler. I’m so glad I followed the link. The storyline is fresh and the dialogue is refreshing. Maddie and Damien are fun and interesting. Loved the message of it never being too late for redemption. The intimate moments are sizzling. Can’t wait to read the others. R. K. Hanson
