Wicked Wager

Can innocence survive the machinations of a ruthless society beauty and a charismatic rake?

Virtuous Celeste Rosington's betrothal to her cold and ambitious cousin Raphael causes no ripple in society - until she's implicated in a scandal surrounding the disappearance of a wealthy plantation magnate.

With her reputation in the balance, Celeste must navigate the treacherous waters of greed, intrigue and deadly secrets as she becomes the unwitting pawn in a wicked wager between a ruthless society beauty and the delicious but dissolute rake, Lord Peregrine.

Could Peregrine really be a party to these perfidious plans? Will his reckless charm be the final undoing of a young woman once respected for her virtue and piety?

Or is there some honour to the facade he presents to society?
