Don't Wager on Love — Monette Cummings

When Lord Rudolph Dunstan's friends Derek and Charles Hoppes offered to wager him that he could not marry an heiress of their choosing within six months, Lord Rudolph accepted with alacrity. Surely nothing could be simpler. But Lord Rudolph was unaware of the brother's clever scheme for passing off the beautiful but penniless Amabel as the heiress, ensuring that once Lord Rudolph had wooed and won her, he would lose the wager. Then the lovely Melinda entered the picture with a scheme of her own to win Lord Rudolph's heart -- and the wager!

Hero: Lord Rudolph Dunstan
Heroine: Melinda
