Betting on Grace (November 2005)
Every family secret has its price ~
Las Vegas restaurateur Grace Radonovic would do anything for her family – even gamble her inheritance on a risky business venture with her late father’s trusted friend. She’s smart, savvy and – after a near-miss with a two-timing frog – cautious of all things romantic.
Still, her mother’s prophesy -- You will marry a prince – but you will have to save him first -- has her debating his royalty potential…
Unfortunately, the lawyer turned casino owner is more wild card than king of hearts. And he’s more attracted to Grace’s dowry to help pay off his blackmailer than the curvy brunette herself. Even the Radonovic matriarch feels something is amiss. So when long-lost cousin Nikolai Sarna visits the Gypsy compound, Grace can’t help but wonder whether he’s her destiny.
But there’s something Nick isn’t telling her – a secret that could land Grace is unexpected danger. Is he her prince-in-the-making? Or her family’s worst nightmare?
Bonus features in this Signature Select Saga include: the author’s tongue-in-cheek travel tale called: Sin City Beckons, recipes from Romantique (Grace’s restaurant) and an excerpt from Kate Radonovic’s story, “One Daddy Too Many,” coming from Harlequin American Romance in 2006.
