The Last Chance - Adele Clee

As the ruthless owner of a notorious gaming hell, Aaron Chance's fierce reputation commands the ton's respect. Scarred by his tragic past, there is no room in his ordered life for love. Vengeance is his only desire. His interest in Miss Lovelace, the captivating owner of a ladies' club, is strictly business. Something he reminds himself when she invades his thoughts at night, when she's the endless subject of his dreams.

When a peer is found dead at Joanna Lovelace's club, there's only one man she can turn to for help-the dark and dangerous owner of Fortune's Den. But Mr Chance despises her and is barely civil. Her only saving grace is his preoccupation with her safety. Why does he drag drunkards from her door at night? Why do his covert glances make her heart race?
