Description

George Chance, Earl of Lindow, is going to be rich. Probably. As soon as these cards behave.

And he most certainly doesn’t need a woman—a woman!—beating him at cards and then disappearing into Bath Society.

After all, he’s got his horses to concentrate on. And they really win start to win races. Soon.

But every time he attempts to concentrate, the irritating and beautiful woman keeps appearing and beating everyone who challenges her at cards. An outside chance, every time.

To Miss Doris Loughty—“Dodo” to her loved ones—it is not an outside chance. It’s mathematics. Probability, calculations that are so simple to her and yet seemingly impossible to others.

But the winning itself isn’t important—it’s the money she so desperately needs that is the priority. So when the arrogant Lord Lindow demands that she teach him all her tricks and promises to pay for the pleasure…

Well. There’s no chance anything can go wrong, can there?

Secrets and misunderstandings circle a pair who only have an outside chance of being friends, let alone anything more. So why can’t Dodo step away from the entitled earl—and why can’t George stop spending time with this mathematical irritation wrapped in skirts…skirts he’s desperate to get underneath?

This novel continues the highly anticipated Chance family drama, with four brothers and just as many problems. Tropes include bluestocking, opposites attract, secrets and lies, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch’s tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance.

This full-length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. It is part of a series that can be read in any order.
