Hurt and betrayal are equal to her shock when Grace Banbury
learns her compulsive gambler mother waged her virtue in a
game. Grace gathers her pride and arrives on her brother's
doorstep only to learn of his recent gambling losses. Once
again, Grace must control her own fate. Meeting the winner,
Grace bargains and engages Daniel Throckmorten in a
challenge. He will attempt to make her his mistress. If he
loses, Grace wins back a valuable violin that will restore
her finances. Having stumbled badly before with a man,
Grace believes she can outwit Daniel.
Daniel Throckmorten loves a challenge and Grace Banbury
promises to be a worthy opponent. This dare would end the
restlessness and boredom he's felt with his businesses and
gambling. Conducting this bet in front of society, without
them being aware, will add to the excitement. His disdain
for society is the result of his family always being
involved in some scandal. Society does not cut him
outright, since he's cousin to a duke, but they pull their
daughters from his path.
Society watches Daniel pursue Grace believing he's picking
his next mistress. However, Grace manipulates and maneuvers
Daniel as she attempts to redeem him. Their unusual dance
provides amusement, but the game between them sparks an
attraction that Grace finds difficult to resist. Her self-
respect is all she has left, and Grace can not trust her
heart to a man who does not know the meaning of love.
Ms. Callen begins her new Sons of Scandal series with a
winning love story between two strong characters. The dare
and its consequences provide lighthearted entertainment
with a touch of menace thrown in, if the truth becomes
known. Once again, the talented Ms. Callen gives readers a
treat.
Miss Grace
Banbury was in shock. Her mother put her up as a prize in
a high stakes card game, and now the gentleman who won is
ready to claim her! But Grace has other plans. She just
needs the dastardly rogue to go along with it . . .
A notorious rake from a scandalous family, Daniel
Throckmorten has no use for blushing virgins. Yet there's
no denying the attraction for the beauty standing before
him, proposing an enticing wager: He will use all his
charm and wit to seduce her into his bed . . . and she
only has to resist. If she succeeds, she wins enough funds
to secure her own future. If he wins . . . she'll
be his. Daniel has never been so tempted—and he has no
intention of losing . . .
