John Sheppard returns from the war on the Peninsula as the new Lord Lymond, only to discover that much of his inheritance has been gambled away by his deceased father. It's a longshot, but he has a risky plan to win back his fortune and secure the safety of Lantea, the family estate. What he didn't gamble on was the risk one Doctor Rodney McKay would pose to his heart.

There were a lot of things that scared him, but nothing like this...
