Synopsis: "ONE LAST SPIN. IF YOU WIN, YOU KEEP ALL THE MONEY. ENOUGH TO PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS."
"AND IF I LOSE?"
"YOU MARRY ME. YOU HAVE MY BABY. AND I PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS."
On the surface, it was a win-win proposition. Whatever the whim of the roulette wheel, Catriona McConnell would keep her outback home. So, in a Vegas casino on the dare of the rich stranger she'd rescued mere days before, she gambled. And lost. And in the harsh light of morning, after a night of Rafe Carlisle making her his wife, Cat realized she'd wagered badly. Because she'd upped the ante impossibly: She wanted Rafe's love.
