A Wicked Wager

Two lonely people discover that true love doesn’t have to be perfect.

The gentleman makes a wager.

When his brother dies mysteriously, Devlin Drake seeks revenge on the lady whose lies have tarnished his family's name. Determined to make her pay, he concocts a devious plan to wed her. He’ll win her hand in a bet. But as Devlin schemes to make her his bride, a surprising twist of fate changes everything. He’s tricked into marrying her sister.

A surprise announcement.

Miss Juliet Duval, the illegitimate daughter of Baron Bromfield, was taken into the lord’s house after the death of her mother. The baron finds her an embarrassment, and her half-sister’s jealous tirades see Juliet banished to the role of servant. That is until her father makes a foolish wager and needs a daughter to satisfy his debt.

An unsuitable match.

Thrown together in an odd twist of fate, Devlin and Juliet are mismatched in every regard. He is a hulking figure of a man, powerful, commanding. She is dainty and petite, used to obeying her father, and despising of masterful men. Yet both quickly become what the other needs and together must battle against those determined to tear them apart.
