Ride the Blue Riband

Tansy Marlow had barely emerged from the innocence of her girlhood when her father died and left her heiress to all the passions and scandals of his mysterious private life.Waiting at the grand but forbidding mansion which was now hers, were the beautiful woman who had been her father's mistress, and Dominic Reade, a sinfully handsome man who coldly informed her that she was now responsible for the huge sums her father had lost to him in a reckless gambling venture. But as Tansy's shining hopes turned to fear, she made her first discoveries as a woman. Her blood was suddenly running too warm, her pulse a frantic beat too fast, and it became increasingly evident that this devastatingly attractive stranger had every intention of claiming more from her than her father's debt...of claiming even more than her helplessly enraptured heart.
