To Wager the Marquis of Wolverstone — Bronwen Evans

They Say Revenge is Sweet…

Marcus Danvers, the Marquis of Wolverstone, is renowned for his cynical demeanor. It's rumored that long ago, a beautiful woman broke his heart. Now he lives life for pleasure.

When he wins, he'll have Sabine exactly where he wants her -- in his bed and at his mercy.

Forced to return to England and avenge her father's death, Sabine knows the one person who can help her is the only man she has ever loved -- Marcus. The man who hates her with as much passion as he once loved her. But Marcus doesn't know that by winning the wager he'll also be getting his revenge. For there are some secrets best left buried…
