A gambler winds up taking on his biggest challenge yet.

Lucy Avondale has been helplessly in love with Malcolm Fairfax since the moment she met him five years ago, and not a single suitor has found a place in her heart such as his. But he doesn't even seem to know who she is- which she never seemed to do much to change.

A Bet On Hearts [Romantic Comedy]
[IMPORTANT: This is a closed-door romance for readers uncomfortable reading heavy erotica and adult scenes.] Miss Mina Haswell has always been a firm believer in love, especially when it comes to her betrothed, a dear childhood friend. Years ago, however, fate took a cruel turn, draping her in mourning and casting her heart in grief. Though unable to even fathom the prospect of love once again blessing her life, she finds joy in her sister's happiness. After her father's untimely passing, the title of Viscount Sinclair unexpectedly falls to a distant relative, the somewhat reclusive Mr Royston Langdon. When their paths cross, Mina and Royston embark on an unconventional journey filled with unforeseen challenges. Intrigued by Miss Haswell, the newly minted Lord Sinclair proposes a daring wager - a game of hearts. If Mina can help Royston win the affection of his potential bride, he promises to triple her inheritance. In return, should Royston help Mina win the heart of her chosen suitor, she will be forced to give up her beloved summer residence, which holds her most cherished memories and represents a significant portion of her inheritance. Their stakes are equal - Mina has lived far from the scrutinising gaze of the ton, while Royston remains a newcomer to its complex world. But patience is not a virtue for which Miss Haswell is known, and Lord Sinclair seems to take a peculiar pleasure in vexing her at every turn. Amidst the whirlwind of emotions, societal expectations and their passionate exchange of wits, one question lingers: Can there be a winner from this daring wager, or will the unpredictability of love cause the rules to be rewritten? ♦♦♦ Contains themes of death and grief. ♦♦♦ ♥♥♥ Ambys 2024 Favorite ♥♥♥ The story is also available on Inkitt. #historicalromanceComplete
