A Reckless Wager

"I AM WEARY OF THE SAME WAGER. WE SHALL EACH PLEDGE SOMETHING WE WOULD BE LOATH TO PART WITH."

And so Viscount Stanton wagered what he valued most--his freedom--and lost! To fulfill his rash bargain, the most confirmed bachelor in the beau monde would have to offer for the lady of his godmother's choosing, Miss Charlotte Sherwood.

But no sooner had Stanton untangled himself from both his bet and his betrothed than he found himself bedeviled by a far greater threat: Miss Elizabeth Sherwood, Charlottes younger sister. Drat the charming female, he couldn't put her out of his mind.

Indeed, Elizabeth was to pose the most momentous question of Stanton's life ... and the happiness of both depended on his answer.
