Rescue comes unexpectedly, but the price for the rescue is quite steep. Poor Lydia, who’s constantly coming up with plans and counter plans, but it seems that nothing works in her favor, ultimately pinning her in a corner at the hands of the blackmailer. Unfortunately, fickle lady luck deserts Lydia at that inopportune moment, leaving her without the money and potentially without her virtue once the duke claims it. She comes up with an ingenious scheme to raise the money she needs by staking her virginity against the money with the Duke of Penthurst. until she’s rudely awakened by a blackmailer who’s found an old manuscript that she wrote in her youth that could compromise her if it were released in society. Determined to mourn her lost love, the only spot of excitement in her life is her gambling, where she seems to have the golden touch, or perhaps it’s a case of unlucky at love…. Lydia has loved and lost her love, unbeknownst to her family. The plot is a bit unbelievable, but if you can roll with it the story, it has some interesting twists and turns. Madeline Hunter has been a long-time favorite, and while I’ve read some of the books in the series, I have to admit that I really had to search my memory for the back stories of the other supporting characters told in the other books in the series.
