Maggie and the Gambler — Ann Carberry

DARE TO LOVE

In the years Maggie Donnelly has managed the Four Roses, she's turned the family saloon into one of the most elegant meeting places in San Francisco. It seems the ultimate betrayal to have her father sell his half -- putting her in partnership with the one man she'd sworn to forget. Maggie had loved Cutter since she was a child, yet the night he made her a woman, he left her with a broken heart.

Now Cutter is back ... with the same hot hunger for the flaming Irish beauty, and the same determination to keep a safe distance while he settles some old business. Yet nothing can dim the memory of that one fiery night ... or cool the desire that rages in his heart. But it is Maggie's bold challenge that tests the limits of Cutter's endurance ... and dares him to surrender to the overwhelming power of love.
