Romance Historical
When straight-laced earl, Will Sutton, is challenged to turn
the obstinate American ward of his friend into a biddable
lady suitable for the Marriage Mart, he gladly takes the
wager. Then has to decide whether the prize--a prime racing
stud horse--is worth changing the impudent beauty's
temperament he's come to enjoy. Greatly. One headstrong miss. One stuffy lord. One friendly
wager. What could go wrong? Will Sutton, the Earl of Grandleigh, believes he can save
the family’s impoverished estate by investing in a
racehorse, but the price is too steep. His brother-in-law
offers him a deal: tutor his American ward in proper English
customs, so she’ll be marriage material, and Will can have
one of his horses. Maybe Miss Georgia Duvall prefers being a
jockey, is obstinate and high spirited, but once she’s
cleaned up and presentable, he’ll have no trouble finding
her a quality suitor. She might even be quite pretty beneath
the racetrack dust. The last thing Georgia Duvall wants is to be married off to
an English peer. But she won’t defy her father’s wishes, and
sets her cap for the oldest lord she can find—a man who’ll
die quickly and leave her alone to manage her inheritance.
The Earl of Grandleigh might think he’ll teach her manners
and marry her off to someone younger than eighty, but there
hasn’t been an obstacle yet Georgia can’t overcome.
Including a stuffy, overbearing English lord.

Re: The Earl's Wager
A fellow Alaskan! Although I love romances, when I read the last Georgette Beyer and a couple of other authors, I switched to contemporary. (Kathleen Bylsma 6:29pm July 29, 2016)
I love the positive, uplifting message in this article. Very well-written, too! (Heather Rizzuti 10:25pm August 3, 2016)
