Tempting Fortune

Romantic Times hails Jo Beverley as "an extraordinary talent," and her masterfully sensual novels have made fans of readers, critics, and authors alike. In Tempting Fortune, the New York Times bestselling author delivers a deliciously seductive story of sin, redemption, and desire... The Stakes Portia St. Claire's brother has gambled and lost, throwing her into the power of ruthless men. Their price for his life is her virtue, to be auctioned off in London's most notorious brothel... The Bidder To retrieve an incriminating letter, Bryght Malloren once broke into a house where he was greeted at pistol point by a resolute woman...a woman he could swear stands before him, masked and trembling, on a madam's auction block... The Riskiest Game Unable to leave Portia to such a cruel fate, Bryght turns the private wager into a very public game of seduction, one that confirms his reputation as a shameless rake and keeps all of London society breathless with anticipation. But on a night shimmering with destiny, truth, and passion, those who tempt fortune risk losing everything...including their hearts...Beverley, Jo is the author of 'Tempting Fortune', published 2002 under ISBN 9780821773475 and ISBN 082177347X.
