The King of Spades — Katrina Britt

When Sara Everette met the fascinating Armand Romont whom she considered to be responsible for the death of her friend, she decided that she hated him and would make him pay for his actions.

But she was to find that hatred can be akin to love...


Mills & Boon edition:

Maura Penhurst had been Sara Everette's dearest friend, and when Maura died in tragic circumstances -- owing to the heartless behaviour of a romantic Frenchman named Armand who had broken her heart -- it was a terrible blow, and Sara was determined to avenge Maura's death. Her chance came when, quite by chance, she met the man in question -- Armand Romond de Poulain, every bit as handsome and heartbreakingly romantic as Maura had declared him to be. Her plan was simple: she would bring Armand to the point of marrying her, then walk out on him as he had walked out on Maura. It all happened exactly as Sara had planned, except that she managed to fall in love with Armand in the process. What would happen to revenge now?

Hero: Armand Romond de Poulain
Heroine: Sara Everette
