The Duke's Dangerous Wager
FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON AMAZON
A scandalous kiss sparks an even more scandalous engagement, but secrets and danger threaten to unravel their love before it even begins.
***
At a masquerade ball, Tristan Hargrave, the Duke of Ashford, makes a reckless wager: to steal a kiss from the season's most elusive debutante, Isla Everly. But when his drunken bet shatters her reputation, Tristan is left with no choice but to propose.
For Isla Everly, the path is clear: secure a wealthy husband to save her family, and avoid the man responsible for their ruin. But when the very same duke brazenly kisses her at the ball, her future prospects crumble. With no other option, Isla reluctantly accepts his offer of marriage.
As she navigates her new life with Tristan, Isla discovers a man far kinder than the one she's long despised. Yet her heart remains hardened by his past actions.
But when a dangerous figure from Isla's past resurfaces, threatening to expose a dark secret, she is forced to turn to the one man she vowed never to trust.
