Description
What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets. . .
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance—including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.
A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.
Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness—a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them . . . .even her heart.

Once Will Never Be Enough…..
5By Laurie_Oh_TLGI’ve quite lost count of the number of times that I have read this book. But I after I finally read the Love by Numbers series, I wanted to apply that context to Penelope’s pov. First of all, it made me love her that much more. The woman is Fire. I love her voice and her absolute strength.Enthralling
5By MiaafI am a convert from the world of Jane Austen and my private world that would make many blush and sigh. If Sarah Maclean’s words can make me blush, swoon (yes, swoon), cry, laugh and root for the heroine who is strong & feisty then you may miss out on pleasure. Not many writers can make you literally feel the heat of the passion. The 50 Shades of Gray genres are a farce about that world but Sarah Maclean gives her characters strength, weaknesses, heat, attraction and depth of soul. I usually only read or listen to nonfiction but as a lark I was inspired to listen to one of her audiobooks. 9 books, both formats, I am praying she has cloned herself and will come up enough books for the rest of the year…which would be 1 a day. I can dream can’t I? Now back to the next book in this delicious sequel. I am quite fond of my toes curling in delight!So much fun
