Publisher Description
London, 1815
Three London Seasons. Three Christmases come and gone. Jilted Sidony Harbeck is done waiting for the inconstant Captain Hale Martin to return. Despite their whispered adolescent promises, he never wrote her a single letter. Now the scoundrel has returned, professing his love and a thoughtless bet to woo her, but she only wants him to suffer.
After three years at sea, Hale finally has the means to marry his best friend's sister and the love of his life. But he only has three days to convince her of his devotion because he stupidly proposes a wager - he'll convince Sidony to marry him by Christmas or he'll leave her alone forever.
When Hale sets out to seduce her, the stakes are raised by a passion so intense that Sidony must risk her heart no matter the odds.

Customer Reviews
A wonderful, quick read
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The story is well written and holds your attention throughout. Even though it's a short novel you become attached to the characters. I wish it was a little longer just so we could see more into the lives of the characters but it doesn't take away from the story. Subtle but effective writing make this an enjoyable read.
