The Wagered Bride — Teresa McCarthy

He'd won her hand--but could he win her heart?
When Lord Stephen Clearbrook, the fourth son of a duke, enters a high-stakes card game, he acquires more than just another debt--he acquires a bride.


He owes a large sum to one William Shelby, a wealthy businessman who always gets what he wants. And what Shelby wants is for his lovely daughter Elizabeth to marry a man with a title, so he's offered to waive Clearbrook's debt if the Lord is willing to take her hand.


Having learned too well from her obstinate father, Elizabeth positively refuses to marry for anything other than love. But when she meets the handsome Lord Clearbrook, it seems that fate may have dealt a perfect pair after all...
