Lady Gabby Gets the Earl

FROM THE BETTING BOOKS AT THE CORINTHIAN CLUB:

Corby wagers £10 Baron Thorne will pluck England's Orchid from the marriage mart before the end of next week. Ledbery accepts the bet, convinced it will happen much sooner.

ALL BETS ARE OFF WHEN THE GAME IS LOVE

When Lady Gabrielle's secret fiancé vanishes on mysterious business and fails to return before the first ball of the Season, she is caught between loyalty to him and her family's expectations. Thrust back into the marriage game, she's barely staying one move ahead of a charming suitor while hoping for her fiancé's swift return.

Anthony Keaton, Earl of Ellis, dreams of becoming the husband Gabby deserves and creating a home where his shy daughter can blossom. Eager to mend past wounds and embrace a brighter future, Anthony returns to London to declare his affection for Gabby. Almost immediately, he finds himself entangled in a high-stakes game of courtship and competition for her heart. Anthony must outwit his friendly rival and prove himself worthy of winning the highest stakes of all—Gabby's love. But when Gabby unexpectedly changes the rules, Anthony is forced to wager his honor or risk losing the only woman who has ever made him feel whole.
