Publisher Description
They call me Lady Luck, though I daresay Fortune has a peculiar sense of humor, bestowing such a title upon a lady who fled her own wedding like a startled pheasant. Five years have passed since that mortifying day, and I have declared myself quite done with matrimony—a vow that has proven far simpler to maintain than Papa's extensive stables, alas.
But now Papa has sold my beloved thoroughbred to the Prince of Wales himself, and I find myself contemplating the most shocking schemes to win him back. Even more vexing is the constant presence of Alex, Earl Templeton, my brother's dearest friend and my most infuriating protector. The man who, I might add, took it upon himself to thwart my last engagement with his unwanted interference.
I have secured another betrothal now—perhaps not a love match, but certainly a sensible one. So why does Lord Templeton persist in looking at me as though I were making the gravest mistake of my life? And why, pray tell, does my traitorous heart flutter every time he does so?
When His Highness announces a thousand-guinea race to Brighton, I spy my opportunity to reclaim my precious horse. What I do not anticipate is finding myself in an altogether different sort of race—one between my sensible head and my rebellious heart, with a penniless earl who has no business whatsoever making me question everything I believed about fortune... and love.
A tale of second chances, where risking one's heart might prove the greatest gamble of all.
