The Highest Stakes

Emery Lee’s engrossing historical romance novel The Highest Stakes, transports readers to eighteenth-century England. As the blood of “desert kings” controls the English turf in this high-stakes gentleman’s world of horseracing, a hero returns from war to claim the girl he has loved since he first saw her galloping hell-for-leather over the Doncaster moor. He risks everything in an attempt to get her.

Drama, peril, dashed hopes for love, and revenge are all interwoven throughout the book against the backdrop of a high-stakes, corrupt gaming age.
