A Lady Risks All

It would be unwise to mistake me for an innocent debutante--for years I have graced the smoky gloom of many a billiards club and honed my skills at my father's side. But now he has a new protege--Captain Greer Barrington--and while my father would see me attract the attentions of an eligible lord I, Mercedes Lockhart, have other ambitions. Even if that means seducing the captain to earn back my father's favor! I know I must avoid falling for Greer's charming smile but his sensual kisses could be worth the risk.
