They made a pact to marry when they’re twenty-five…
Adrian
I’m a gentleman and a card shark, so taking the lead on the new upscale casino on Villroy is a natural fit. I’m proud to run the place, especially given our flagging economy. Except, after a month in operation, it’s been proving to be more than one prince can handle. I need a right-hand man (or woman) to make this operation a success, and hundreds of jobs are counting on me.

And then my twin, Silvia, gets in touch about Sara, a girl we were close to as children when her family summered in Villroy. Ironically, at twelve, we swore a solemn vow to marry when we were twenty-five. We’re now twenty-five.

But that’s not why Silvia contacted me. Turns out that Sara, like me, loves poker, but now she’s in trouble, running a poker game in New York and upping the pot high enough to attract the wealthy underbelly of the city. Of course, I ride to the rescue with the perfect solution—a job, working for me.

Except the stubborn woman won’t stop her game, won’t leave New York, and won’t leave her sister, who’s all grown up. Now I find myself wanting her for more than just business, unable to leave her in such a dangerous situation. But my kingdom is counting on me to make the casino a success.

Something’s got to give.

5.0 out of 5 stars This series just keeps getting better!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2019
Adrian Rourke for me has been a little bit of a mystery, so beginning this book I didn't know what to expect. But Kylie Gilmore never disappoints he is every bit the hero, young Sara declared he was. Being the final Prince I was sad thinking this maybe the last Royal Rourke book, but Im very happy to say there are more Rourke character's to meet. Sara was a complex woman who had her life tipped upside down and the only way for her to get through was to look after her little sister and leave the past behind her. I enjoyed this book from front to back and would recommend it to everyone that has ever found themselves stuck down the Kylie Gilmore rabbit hole.

I don’t even know where to start but I guess I’ll start by saying this book is AMAZING!!! I knew Adrian was going to be such an amazing guy. I mean this man stops what he’s doing to make sure the girl he fell in love with at 12 was actually ok. To read how their story unfolds is just so heart warming. For two young souls to find there way back to each other after 13 years and still have the strong connection they do is amazing. Your heart reaches out to Sara and Chloe for the loss of their parents. And you want to do is just hug them and shelter them from the battles they’ve had to face in 13 years. You also want to congratulate Sara for being the parent that Chloe needed even though she was a child herself. Amazing amazing book. I seriously cannot wait for the next one to come out.
