Welcome to The Perdition Club, where games are played for the highest of stakes …
Jonas Thacker wouldn’t be caught dead in The Perdition Club, a godforsaken den of iniquity where sinners go to play. However, notorious rakehell and Jonas’ former schoolmate, Derek Dryden, has begun courting his sister. Rumors have reached his ears that the scoundrel even plans to propose marriage! Determined to put a stop to the union, Jonas storms into Perdition searching for Derek. He never imagines that seeing him again will stir up a firestorm of passions he has spent years trying to stifle.
Derek has no interest in marriage—least of all to Jonas’ sister—but past attempts at gaining his former friend’s attention have gone ignored. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Derek will stop at nothing to coerce Jonas into admitting that what they once shared was real and true. If Jonas will give in and admit that the desire and longing between them wasn’t one-sided all those years ago, then Derek will cease his pursuit of his sister.
Jonas is determined not to play Derek’s game, but the truth of the past is too overwhelming to be ignored. As they engage in a battle of wills, both men will be forced to reconcile their past with their present, and the future they both desperately crave.
