A young widow dipping her toe into dangerous waters... Araminta Brightwhistle ("Minta") is ready to begin living life on her own terms!

A deliciously handsome and wicked rogue... Radbourne St. John ("Sinjun?Sin" to his closest friends) manages the Barque of Frailty* for Lord Haverly, a gaming hell in the bowels of London.

Their wills...and their hearts...are about to collide! Sparks fly when Minta, Haverly's widow, walks into the Barque of Frailty to claim ownership of her late husband's gaming hell and demanding to see the account books.

Their instant attraction causes sparks that burst into flames when Sin challenges the beautiful widow for control of the Barque. Before they can come to an agreement, Sin is accused of running a crooked gaming hell, and Minta's reputation is maligned.

Will the duel at dawn win Sin the satisfaction he seeks, and avenge Minta's honor, or will his dishonorable accuser succeed in destroying Sin and Minta's happiness and their lives?
