By Way Of A Wager

Damsel In Distress

Though her brother was presumed dead at Waterloo, Miss Cassandra Beaumaris was determined to escape her lecherous guardian and find him. Sheer desperation forced her to accept shelter from the eighth Duke of Wyndham only to have the handsome nobleman insist she marry him to salvage her reputation! And so Cassandra proposed a game of chance. If she won, she would have her freedom. And if she lost, she would place her future--and her heart--in his hands.

Rake To The Rescue

Years ago, the duke had been charmed by Cassandra's carefree innocence and sweet smile. Now she had fallen on desperate times, and his reputation as society's most eligible and elusive bachelor seemed in jeopardy as well. For something in the lovely Miss Beaumaris brought out the chivalry in him, and he would not rest until she was under his protection. . .and in his arms.
