Beschreibung

Can innocence survive the machinations of a ruthless society beauty and a charismatic rake? Virtuous Celeste Rosington's betrothal to her cold and ambitious cousin Raphael causes no ripple in society - until she's implicated in a scandal surrounding the disappearance of a wealthy plantation magnate. With her reputation in the balance, Celeste must navigate the treacherous waters of greed, intrigue and deadly secrets as she becomes the unwitting pawn in a wicked wager between a ruthless society beauty and the delicious but dissolute rake, Lord Peregrine. Could Peregrine really be a party to these perfidious plans? Will his reckless charm be the final undoing of a young woman once respected for her virtue and piety? Or is there some honour to the facade he presents to society? *Wicked Wager was previously published by Harlequin Escape under the name Beverley Eikli. This exciting, fast-paced Georgian romance with mystery and intrigue has since been revised. Here's what the readers say: "Cloaked in mystery and dark agendas Wicked Wager...is a wonderful expedition into intrigue and romance! Nothing is as it seems in this book and as the story evolved clues and romance built." ~ Jenerated Reviews. "The author knows how to weave a web full of mystery and suspense, and I had a great time relating to the heroine. Wicked Wager isn't the typical historical romance, it's very complex and intense." ~ Amazon Reader "A great novel about a lord who is bored and likes playing games, especially when there are women involved.
