Lady Amelia Caversham is determined to marry a duke. But
catching the eye of a duke has not been easy, so Amelia
enlists the aid of Lady Sophia Dalby, rumored to have once
been a courtesan.
As Lady Dalby and Amelia start conducting interviews of
those men who have made Amelia's list, the Earl of
Cranleigh is determined that Amelia not marry his brother,
who is on that list.
Sparks fly between Cranleigh and Amelia as the dukes
eagerly line up to be interviewed, and the wagers around
town escalate as to whom will eventually marry the lovely
Amelia. But will Amelia be able to make the right choice in
the end?
THE COURTESAN'S WAGER, the third book in the Courtesan's
Chronicles series, is a clever story and highly
entertaining. Claudia Dain
Award-winning author Claudia Dain brings back her
deliciously improper ex-courtesan for another delightful
matchmaking scheme.
If Lady Amelia is to marry
before another Season passes, she’ll need help from
infamous courtesan-turned- matchmaker Sophia Dalby. But
Amelia is shocked when Lady Dalby informs her that they’ll
hold interviews for the post of husband—and only dukes
need apply.
The plan may ruffle some feathers, but
that doesn’t keep the men from lining up, especially once
the hopeful bride-to-be rejects one eligible duke after
another. Only Lord Cranleigh shuns the proceedings,
setting his own course of action. But convincing the lady
to pursue different interests leads to even more
outrageous behavior. Lady Dalby is delighted—and the ton
is abuzz: Will Amelia become a duchess, or will other
desires consume her?
