**Passion is on the cards for two reckless rogues as K. J. Charles ups the ante in her Society of Gentlemen series with a sizzling eBook short story.**
The youngest son and the blackest sheep in his family, Lord Gabriel Ashleigh never imagined he could sink so low. Though he’s a notoriously bad gambler, he takes on the formidable but strangely alluring Francis Webster, only to lose everything: all his money, the lovely estate he inherited from his aunt, and any hope of future happiness. So it’s a shock when Webster summons him to a private game for a chance to win back his possessions. The stake? If he fails, Ash must surrender his body.
Francis has been waiting years for this moment. At Eton, Ash’s elder brother harassed him relentlessly. Now, consumed by lust and rage, Francis is only too happy to exploit Ash’s foolish indiscretions. But as Francis strips the magnificently built youth—first of his family assets, then his clothes—he begins to wonder whether he’s been plotting revenge . . . or exquisite seduction.

Second ReRead October 2022
Odd to think that this was my first introduction to Charles. Anyway, still like it, still love Ash (and, to a slightly lesser extent, Francis) and it packs a surprising punch for the shortness of the story. (Which is also helped by the fact that there are no characters on screen, really, besides our couple.
(And, yes, it is still surprisingly hot.)
Re-read.
Mostly to see if I still loved Ash (yes) and because I wanted something short and steamy. (And these two guys scorch up the page more than any other couple in this series, I think.)
