Legendary bounty hunter and gambler, Raven Scott, is steeped in darkness – from his jet-black hair, his dark, brooding eyes, his lethally toned body, to the depths of his cynical soul. He keeps emotions under his hat, and people at arm's length – that's how he plays them so well… As for women? You take your best chance, then move on to the next game. Now he's chasing down a missing heiress and an easy payday – but he's met his match in gambler's daughter Charm Fergusson!

Charm can't believe she's really the long-lost Chantilly Grady; and she trusts Raven about as much as she'd trust a player who holds five aces! But resisting Raven is a losing gamble; and in a game of hearts, the only winning hand is true love!
