Playing the odds: Determined to see his daughter leave her job as a blackjack dealer on a cruise ship and settle down to have a family, Serena MacGregor's father arranges for gambler Justin Blade to make Serena rethink her priorities.

Tempting fate: Lawyer Caine MacGregor had a reputation for being an absolute devil in and out of the courtroom. He rarely met a case - or a woman - he couldn't win. But polished, elegant Diana Blade was no ordinary woman; she was his best friend's estranged sister and her icy wall of control held everyone at a distance. Back home in Boston, Caine convinced Diana to form a business partnership. But he was going to need all his persuasive skills to entice her to risk everything for an emotion!
