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?

A Georgian Romance

Wicked Wager

A beautiful French emigree in London in the aftermath of the French Revolution is torn between her heart's desire and her desire for justice...

Lady Athelton’s St Valentine’s Ball is a place for love, not vengeance.

Nevertheless, the once carefree Lisette plots to use the infamous gathering in her quest for justice.

But Lucien Monteil, handsome Vicomte and darling of post-revolutionary France, is more than the man who betrayed her father, sending him to the guillotine. He’s also the man who stole her heart so many years ago.

Now Lisette must fight the rising tide of her passions, torn between her heart’s desire and her desire for justice.

Read this exciting tale of betrayal, love and redemption, and be transported to a gilded age where truth and honor will rise above petty vengeance once hearts are laid bare.
