Shy heiress Evie Jenner proposes marriage to Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent, because she needs protection from relatives determined to control her inheritance. The bargain gives Sebastian access to money and Evie a legal shield, but rebuilding her father’s gaming club and surviving renewed threats require a partnership neither expected.
The novel explores marriage as a legal and financial instrument in Victorian Britain, particularly for an heiress whose property and freedom are vulnerable to family coercion. The gaming club also connects aristocratic leisure with commercial management and London’s mixed social world.
