Ace Of Hearts
Barbara Metzger
Barbara Metzger ups the ante with the first in her House
of Cards Trilogy...Meet two brothers who learn that even
when dealt an undesirable hand of it, wits and some good
old bluffing can make anyone a winner in the game of
love. Alexander “Ace” Endicott, the Earl of Carde, needs a
woman who will beget him heirs to the earldom. But never
did Alex imagine himself to be thrice betrothed against his
will by the doings of three desperate females. So Ace did
what any respectable earl would do—he folded. Escaping the
comforts of London, he journeyed to his property in
Northampshire… Instead of marriage, Alex follows through with his
deceased father’s last wish. He and his brother, Jack,
promised to find their long-lost stepsister. But he’s dealt
a wild card when his search takes a detour and leads him to
Nell, whose delicate beauty piques his interest. And when
Nell returns his affection, the situation becomes more than
either wagered for. Now, Ace may have to reconsider his
rejection of marriage and see if two mismatched lovers can
make a royal pair...
