From #1 CBA Bestselling Author Tamera Alexander . . . With fates bound by a shared tragedy, a reformed gambler
from the Colorado Territory and a Southern Belle bent on
breaking free from society's expectations must work together
to achieve their dreams - provided the truth doesn't tear
them apart first. Seeking justice . . . Sylas Rutledge, the new owner of the Northeast Line
Railroad, invests everything he has into this venture,
partly for the sake of the challenge. But mostly to clear
his father's name. One man holds the key to Sy's
success--General William Giles Harding of Nashville's Belle
Meade Plantation. But Harding is champagne and
thoroughbreds, and Sy Rutledge is beer and bullocks. Sy needs someone to help him maneuver his way through
Nashville's society, and when he meets Alexandra Jamison, he
quickly decides he's found his tutor. Only, he soon
discovers that the very train accident his father is blamed
for causing is what killed Alexandra Jamison's fiancé--and
has shattered her world. Struggling to restore honor . . . Spurning an arranged marriage by her father, Alexandra
instead pursues her passion for teaching at Fisk University,
the first freedmen's university in the United States. But
family--and Nashville society--do not approve, and she soon
finds herself cast out from both. Through connections with the Harding family, Alexandra and
Sy become unlikely allies. And despite her first
impressions, Alexandra gradually finds herself coming to
respect, and even care for this man. But how can she, when
her heart is still spoken for? And when Sy's roguish
qualities and adventuresome spirit smack more of
recklessness than responsibility and honor? Sylas Rutledge will risk everything to win over the woman he
loves. What he doesn't count on is having to wager her heart
to do it. Set against the real history of Nashville's Belle Meade
Plantation and the original Fisk University Jubilee Singers
ensemble, To Wager Her Heart is a stirring love story
about seeking justice and restoring honor at a time in
American history when both were tenuous and hard-won.
