The Scoundrel's Gambit

She'll make him pay—even if it means working under his roof. When Lancelot legally claims the cottage she considers hers, this fiery Eastern woman declares war on the arrogant brute. His response? Hiring her as his daughter's governess to fund her own lawsuit against him. It's the perfect trap... or so he thinks. But as her sharp wit and unexpected warmth transform his carefully ordered world, the cunning scoundrel finds himself outmaneuvered at his own game. In this battle of wills, only one can claim victory—and she's already stolen something far more valuable than property.
