The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his bride-the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey. The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the duke's estate to think things over. Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the duke's gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green. Alas, he underestimates the duke's intelligence and the tangled situation on the estate-never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult. His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer. Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient). His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes ... a tad complicated.

She was the only woman who could reform his wicked ways... Lord Anthony Nelthorpe had committed many sins not the least of which was his attempt to seduce the well–bred Jenna Montague Fairchild into marrying him. But that was three years past, before the war magnified life's conceit. Back in London, Anthony seized the chance to shake the wealthy young widow out of her deepening apathy. He hit upon a challenge: since Jenna was the instrument of saving his rascal skin, did she not owe it to all those heroes of war, and her sainted husband, to make him a better man? Now Anthony just had to figure out how to win this wager without wanting her all over again...

Lovely Regina Berryman was pursued by two men—the two most attractive and infamous bachelors in London.

Nothing is as it seems in this book and as the story evolved clues and romance built.” ~ Jenerated Reviews. “The author knows how to weave a web full of mystery and suspense, and I had a great time relating to the heroine.

The game playing is fun and the romantic aspect …is great.” ~ Kindle Reader “A powerful page-turner with a compelling romance, a gripping 'edge of the seat' mystery and characters that held me spellbound.” ~ Kindle Reader "Full of mystery, intrigue, and romance.
