The Debutante's Wager — Donna Cummings

All of London knows Lord Travender's heart is a prize that cannot be won. An inveterate gambler, he's willing to risk everything on the turn of a card or prime racing stock, yet never on the unpredictability of love. Until a bit of quick wit and risqué banter sends his heart galloping…

One minute he's warning Miss Arrington he'll break her heart, and the next, he's agreeing to a wager: Who will fall in love first?

The game seems simple. Tess Arrington wishes to regain a beloved painting her scapegrace brother lost to Lord Travender. For her part, she gambles her renowned French chef. But the stakes are continually raised as each employ ever more delightful, inventive, and…intimate methods of persuasion.

If love is the ultimate gamble, will they dare to risk it all?
