Emma Drake is as good as ruined already, thanks to her two older sisters. So, she might as well live up to her family name and do all the amusing and scandalous things she wants to before settling down in a loveless marriage with some dull man for the rest of her life. All she had to do is ensure she does not get caught. Simple! No one would ever expect her of doing anything remotely outrageous. Unfortunately, one man, a man she's been warned about, appears determined to squash her wild plans at every turn.
Mr. Simon Kingsley, otherwise known as the King of Hell, knows one misstep could ruin a person for life. He sees it nightly in his successful gaming hell. And Emma Drake seems hellbent on her complete ruination. Simon may be a well-known scoundrel, but he isn't going to stand by and watch this beauty destroy any chance she has for a respectable life.
Emma doesn't want to find Simon intriguing and sinfully attractive. Yes, he is a rake-and seducing a rake is on her list-but he's far too dangerous for an innocent like her. And any connection to him might destroy her family name entirely. Yet, she can't seem to stay away. Nor can Simon stay away from her. They quickly learn that her ten ways to ruin is narrowed down to just one. An event that may ruin them both-falling in love.
