The Wallflower Wager

One high-stakes wager. Two stubborn hearts.

After a humiliating debut three years earlier, Lady Prudence Davies decides to embrace her status as a wallflower and sets a course for spinsterhood. But when her fellow wallflowers become targets of a band of rogues, Prudence ventures out of the shadows to aid them.

Silas Hayward, Viscount Winstead, and his friends make an unfortunate wager, one that Silas deeply regrets. If his family didn’t so desperately need the winnings, he would’ve found a way to bow out. Twelve balls and a dance with twelve different wallflowers. How hard could it be?

Prudence has no intention of allowing any of the rogues to win the ridiculous wager—not when she’s one of the twelve. While a steamy kiss with Silas has her reconsidering her opinion of rogues, she refuses to allow her friends to be hurt.

Silas is knocked sideways as he comes to know Prudence and doesn’t like the idea of using her to win. Suddenly there’s more at stake than the money, yet he can’t possibly choose her over helping his family.

Who will win the wallflower wager?
