We start out with a young man named Gabriel Ashleigh who wakes up hungover. We learn that he has gambled away everything that he owned (money, his house, etc). The house was a family house so his brother is very upset with him. Gabriel receives a note to summoning him to the residence of Francis Webster who is the man that he lost everything to gambling. Webster has Gabriel play cards with him to get his property back. Gabriel accepts the wager. They play and eventually Webster wants Gabriel to wager his body. The two men end up doing the deed. Gabriel finds out that Webster has been in love with him for 5 years but was afraid to approach him because of bad blood with Gabriel's brother. The two decide to continue to see each other.
Overall, I would not recommend this book. I found the author's writing very hackneyed and stilted. There were lots of very wordy descriptions. The writing went off on long rambling tangents that the story really didn't need.
