When hardened gamester Marcus Revington wins Horngate Manor in a card game, he's delighted to finally own property, and undeterred when he learns he must marry the heiress of the estate to claim it. The heiress, Penny Montgomery, is happy with her life raising horses at Horngate and has no desire to wed anyone. When she discovers what her guardian has done, she comes up with a scheme to convince Marcus she's unsuitable as a wife so he'll give up his plan to marry her. Who will win in this battle of wits and wills? Or will they both discover the name of the game is love?

A truly enjoyable read. I wished it was longer with more twists and turns. The book had a steady pace, it wasn’t hurried and it developed well right to the end. The characters also grew steadily, and i grew to like them more as the book progressed. There were some stories in the book I wish had been continued though, and it would have been great to get to see James and Lily’s relationship as well.
