Publisher Description
Every lady has want of a scandal… unless it results in murder.
To escape her stepmother's matrimonial plans, Nora Webb sets a risqué wager with Merritt Dryden, Duke of Roxburghe; if he can't find her a suitable match by the year's end, he must provide her with financial freedom. But if she loses, she must publicly destroy Tabitha Philbert's reputation...and her own.
Rescued by Nora before the marriage trap could spring, Merritt views their agreement as an opportunity to exact revenge on Tabitha for arranging the deceitful scheme. However, after their bet is discovered, Nora's intended fiancé—and his scheming sister, Tabitha—set out to ruin Merritt.
When her fiancé is discovered with a knife protruding from his chest, Nora is accused of murder and arrested, and not even Merritt's powerful influence can save her from the gallows.
A captivating mixture of Tessa Dare's witty banter and Amanda Quick's steamy suspense that plunges the reader into a shocking historical mystery.

Customer Reviews
Excellent and funny
Oh my, this book made me laugh out loud, five Dukes make a bet but don’t realize that someone else is in the room. Miss Webb hears the whole bet and makes an agreement with two Dukes. The book does get serious at one point and things go wrong, I really detested the stepmother, she was cruel to her child and step child. Loved the way things worked out in the end. Loved the story and would recommend it. Cannot wait to see who will be the next Duke to fall in love.
