Lady's Wager Book

Mary Spencer reintroduces likable characters from her previous book, Dark Wager, and explores London's unsavory underworld in this Regency historical that's more notable for its original characterizations than its sensual lovemaking. Plainspoken Gwendolyn Wells, raised in Boston but connected to the ton, knows on sight that Jack Sommerton, Earl of Rexley, is destined to be her husband. Convincing Jack, however, isn't so easy. Jack, who has reason to believe he's illegitimate, spends his nights searching London's most notorious neighborhoods for proof of his birth, and ferreting out evildoers who profit from the most heartless crimes. When Gwendolyn ventures into those depraved dens after him, and engages in a risky scheme to help bring a villain to justice, Jack is kept busy protecting her reputation... and resisting the idea that life without Gwen would be intolerable. An amusing secondary romance between a clumsy lord and his long-suffering fiancée provides a refreshing diversion. Spencer creates an authentic and appealing Regency world on a broader-than-usual canvas, and hints at more related books to come. --Ellen EdwardsRead More

  • Product Description

    A Game of Passion . . .

    Miss Gwendolyn Wells was determined to win the Perfect Husband--and she found him while visiting London with her father. From the moment the spirited young American laid eyes on Jack Sommerton, Earl of Rexley, she knew he was The One--though he had vowed never to wed. So she secretly wagered that the notorious rake would soon be married. To her! But first she had to tempt and infuriate him, to drive the man who was the talk of the London ton to passionate extremes. Then she said no--and he vowed to have her at any cost. . . .

    ...Played for Keeps...

    Her beauty dazzled him. Her bold laughter unnerved him. For the first time in his rakehell life, Jack Sommerton met a woman who touched his very soul. Gwendolyn Wells invaded his dreams, blinded him with her charms, drove him mad with desire, until he finally swept her into his arms. Love had nothing to do with it--until she said she'd settle for nothing less. . . .
