One Dangerous Night
The second book in New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell’s humorous and heartwarming series The Gambler’s Daughters, in which three aristocratic Irish sisters are determined to make their ways in Regency London...only to learn the path to making a brilliant society marriage isn’t easy—especially when Love gets in the way. Here, a disaster in a storm throws headstrong sister Elise into the company, and arms, of a rake on the run.
Elise Lanscarr is furious—her very own sister has married the man Elise had marked for herself. Feeling betrayed, she flees London, determined to return to the one place where everything was once as it should be: her family home in Ireland. But when her stagecoach crashes in a storm, she finds herself cast adrift in the wilds with no one to help but a rough-looking, albeit handsome, stranger—one who has obviously never been informed of the “proper” rules of society.
Christopher Fitzhugh-Cox, the missing Duke of Winderton, has fled all responsibility, preferring the persona of the devil-may-care rake “Kit.” He proudly lives hand-to-mouth, rubbing shoulders with commoners and thieves alike. But while he values his freedom, he’s never been one to leave a lady in trouble—even one as opinionated, albeit intriguing, as Elise.
But this night of booming thunder and flashing lightning is just the beginning of an unexpected, often dangerous, adventure. And two disillusioned souls who have been caught up in their own webs of expectations and disappointments are about to learn that life always holds surprises, and gifts. And all it asks in return is that they risk everything for Love . . .

This was a well written book. The characters, story line, descriptions, humor and danger-all nicely done. Looking forward to the next one.

Many are lost and found, figuratively and physically, while two with secret identities are on an road trip of sorts in “One Dangerous Night” a Gambler’s Daughters novel by Cathy Maxwell!! I thought it fitting for the sister, Elise Lanscarr, who got hurt would run away, and in the process, life throws her around a carriage. Nothing would help a person grow more than if they are to fend for themselves and find friends, two- and four-legged, along the way. Kit Cox, ever the hero, was always there for Elise no matter how annoyed he could get. He may be running away from his posh life however his gentlemanly ways shone while reforming. We could always trust him to find us…swoon! I enjoy the sisterly, and aunt, love aspect to this book! There is enough animosity to make the story relatable. There is a lot of acceptance and familial love to make the story heartwarming. I highly recommend this easy flowing, slow burn novel! There was danger, headstrongness, over confidence, healing, hurt, and love along the way for Elise to find her happily ever after with her ruffian! Thank you to Net Galley, Avon, and Harper Voyager US for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
