Here’s the set-up:
Let the Wicked Wagers Begin…
Lady Caitlin Southall’s temper has finally got the better of her. She’s challenged Harlow Telford, the Duke of Dangerfield, the most notorious rake in all of England, to a wager. She wants her house back. The one her destitute father lost to Dangerfield in a card game. But if she doesn’t win their bet, she not only loses her home, she loses her dignity and pride and damn it all, maybe her heart… For the handsome Duke has decreed, when he wins, she must spend the night in his bed.
Harlow Telford is amused by his hellion neighbor, Caitlin, or Cate to her friends, who seem to encompass everyone on earth except him. When she bursts into one of his private gatherings, he mistakes her for the entertainment. Her slap across his face sets him straight and raises the absurd desire to seduce the unconventional beauty into his bed. When she issues her daft challenge to win back her father’s pile of rubble, the terms are set. And he’ll do anything to win—except fall in love…
This is a 39,000 word novella, about 170 pages.
Reviews
“I really enjoyed Caitlin and Harlow’s journey to the happy ever after. Bronwen Evans knows how to write an engaging story. The plot moves along at a rollicking pace and the hero and heroine are spunky and likeable. I recommend this book to everyone and can’t wait for Marcus’s story.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars
“I enjoyed reading this book. The female lead was strong and determined. I found myself laughing out loud in a few scenes. The male lead was just the right degree of mean. When I read good books like this I often wonder what happen to the couple and friends and love when author write a series. I bought this book from the reviews and was not disappointed.” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 Stars
About The Author
Hi from Wellington, New Zealand.
I’m an author and lover of romance novels. I love reading all genres but in particular historicals. I write dark, gritty and sensual Regency historicals for the Kensington Brava line. Here’s my bio…
New Zealander BRONWEN EVANS loves story-telling – gobbling up movies, books and theatre. Her head is always filled with characters and stories, particularly lovers in angst. In 2007, encouraged by a close friend battling a debilitating illness, Bronwen finally started down the path to publication by joining RWA, The Beau Monde. RWAustralia and RWNZ. Bronwen’s first manuscript, INVITATION TO RUIN, was completed late 2009 and was sold by her agent, Melissa Jeglinski of The Knight Agency, to Kensington Publishing early 2010, in a two book deal. Her debut novel, INVITATION TO RUIN, received a 4.5 star rating from RT Book Reviews and has been nominated in the RT Reviewer’s Choice Awards – Best First Historical. Invitation to Ruin was also well received in Publishers Weekly – Evans’s debut Regency is filled with sizzling romance… Strong characterizations, smooth plotting, and plenty of explicit sex will appeal to fans of modern Regencies.
