All bets are off in this lively Victorian romance full of spice and wit!

May the best gentleman win...a debutante?

Wealthy rail baron Thomas Hayward needs a duke’s land to expand his empire, but the oaf insists on a ridiculous wager: they’ll both woo debutante Miss Grace Lowerby and, if she chooses the Duke (which she surely will), Thomas gets the land at a cheaper price. He can’t lose...

To save her family, Grace must marry the Duke, yet in dashing Thomas she’s found a man she can finally be herself with. But focussing on her goal is paramount...until she discovers the wager and — annoyingly! — that it’s Thomas she’s falling for!
