An Unsuitable Suitor's Wager

Julian, Lord Wesley, is drowning in debt when an evening of shared misery with his closest friend at their club turns up a startling wager.

Someone has bet that Lady Charlotte Duchamps will not marry before her twenty-first birthday, and Julian stands to receive a thousand pounds if she does not.

Charlotte soon finds herself the focus of unusual attention from Lord Wesley, a vague acquaintance with a questionable reputation.

As Julian and Charlotte both chase mysteries and stir up chaos, the terms of that bet press on every encounter between them.

Betting on the possibility of love may prove the riskiest wager of all.
