A wager that could ruin everything… or finally bring two old friends together.
A Daring and Delicious Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Harriet Stanhope has sworn off romance. Once upon a time she trusted her heart — and it betrayed her spectacularly. Now she prefers Plato to parties, long walks in the rain to ballrooms, and logic to the foolishness of love. The season is a waste of her intellect, and she intends to survive it with her dignity intact.
If only Jasper Cadogan didn’t exist.

Jasper, Earl of St Clair, is handsome, charming, adored by the ton… and hopelessly in love with the one woman who cannot stand him. Harriet was once his closest friend, but somewhere along the way he lost her — and he has no idea why. Determined to win her back, Jasper is ready to use fair means, foul means, or sheer persistence to uncover the truth.
Then The Peculiar Ladies dare Harriet to wager something she truly doesn’t wish to lose. And when Kitty’s enthusiastic tongue delivers the news straight to Jasper, Harriet finds herself trapped in a scandalous bet with the very man she’s spent years avoiding.

One stubborn heart.
One oblivious earl.
And a wager that could ruin them… or finally bring them together.

Harriet vowed never to trust her heart again. Jasper is determined to change her mind.
