The Wicked Wager ( A Regency Murder Mystery & Romance )

The Wicked Wager ( A Regency Murder Mystery & Romance )

The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his brideâ€”the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey.
The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the dukeâ€™s estate to think things over.
Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the dukeâ€™s gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green.
Alas, he underestimates the dukeâ€™s intelligence and the tangled situation on the estateâ€”never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult.
His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer.
Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient).
His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes â€¦ a tad complicated.
