A game of cards. A scandalous wager. One week to surrender... When the Duke of Ravenswood discovers Winifred Ashford's father wagering her in a high-stakes card game, he makes a re ckless double-or-nothing bet to save her from Lord Blackthorne's clutches. His victory gives him the right to claim her—but Alexander Sinclair is no common rake. He offers Winifred a shocking proposition: spend one week at his country estate. After seven days of pleasure, she can walk away with a cottage and enough money to live independently forever... or she can stay and become his duchess. Winifred should refuse. A week of sin with London's most notorious duke will destroy what's left of her reputation. But after a lifetime of being traded like property, the promise of choice—real choice—is irresistible. As the unlikely pair succumbs to forbidden passion, their arrangement begins to evolve into something neither expected. Winifred discovers the commanding duke's hidden vulnerabilities, while Alexander finds himself captivated by her intelligence and spirit. But when her father and Lord Blackthorne resurface with claims of their own, Winifred must make a final choice: the independence she's always craved, or a scandalous arrangement that might just be love. The Duke's Winning Hand is a steamy, standalone Regency novella with a guaranteed HEA. This scorching romance features a possessive duke, a woman claiming her power, and a marriage of convenience that becomes anything but convenient.
