Agnes Forest

The King of Hearts Agnes Forest

A gentleman that owns the night, a lady that plays her cards close to her chest. At Almack's, lovers gamble with their hearts. Is it even possible that someone could win?Lord Calvin Cain is the self-professed King of Almack's and matchmaker to all other men but himself. He's a rogue, a dandy, an incomprehensible ne'er-do-well who would rather watch the lives of others be destroyed by love than his own. When Lord Cain is finally challenged, both at the card table and in his affections, will he be able to come out on top?Lady Diana Crosby displays impeccable breeding, delightful wit, and admirable beauty, but she cares more for playing cards than for the shining gossamer of Almack's. Losing her reputation provides no threat, but losing her heart to Society's fiercest bachelor does. In a society that thrives off gossip and intrigue, is it safe to set a wager on true love? Lord Cain and Lady Diana can't help but play all or nothing, and neither knows who'll take the pot, and who will be left empty-handed.
