From the moment he set eyes upon the beautiful Regina, Draven McCormick wanted her for his own, preferably in his bed. He never dreamed her husband would gamble her away. Draven hasn't made The Southern Belle into the most well-loved gambling establishment in Galveston in 1887 because he let chances pass him by.Regina's learned most men lie, but Draven commands her trust as he awakens her passion.
