Gambled Away
by Jeannie Lin, Molly O'Keefe, Joanna Bourne, Isabel Cooper, Rose Lerner

Get revenge. Pay a debt. Save a soul. Lose your heart.

Spanning centuries and continents, five brand-new novellas
from beloved historical romance authors tell the stories of
men and women who find themselves wagered in a game of
chance and are forced to play for the highest stakes of all:
love.

Redeemed by Molly O’Keefe

Denver, 1868 — After agonizing years in the
Civil War’s surgical tents, Union doctor James Madison
has nothing left to lose. But when beautiful, tortured Helen
Winters is the prize in a high-stakes game of poker, he goes
all in to save her—and maybe his own soul.

Gideon and The Den of Thieves by Joanna
Bourne

London, 1793 — Soldier of fortune Gideon Gage
has come home from halfway around the world, fully prepared

own home by the French Revolution and desperately in need of
his help.

Raising The Stakes by Isabel Cooper

California, 1938 — When the flute she won in
last night’s poker game unexpectedly summons an elven
warrior bound to her service, two-bit con artist Sam takes

thing…but would she rather take a gamble on love?

All or Nothing by Rose Lerner

England, 1819 — Architect Simon Radcliffe-Gould
needs someone to pose as his mistress so he can actually get
some work done at a scandalous house party. Irrepressible
gambling den hostess Maggie da Silva would rather be his
mistress, but she’ll take what she can get…
