One week! What are you thinking? Knowing his best friend
and long time companion, Derek Drake, Earl of Manderville,
is totally surprised by the request made by the Duke. Even
for himself, Nicholas Manning, Duke of Rothsay, a
notorious rake who seldom stayed overnight with his many
conquests, was surprised by the frisson he felt as he
carefully watch Lady Caroline Wynn's face.
After causing a frenzy of gossip in the Ton and much
betting after the publication of their drunken bet over
which of these two handsome rakes was the best lover, the
two friends had finally met the woman offering to be their
judge to their utmost shock. She is young, beautiful and
insists that no long-term strings will be attached. Her
only caveat is that they must maintain the highest degree
of secrecy over her identity.
Think of the scandal if news of her involvement got out!
Could Caroline really do this after the horror of her
marriage to Lord Edward Wynn? Would these powerful and
busy rakes really want to spend that much time with her --
the icy widow known for her cold demeanor? For his part,
Derek is now sick at heart with this bet and with the
thought of losing Annabel! Caught in the most indecent
position with a married lady, the young ward of his Uncle
Thomas now refused to see him and was going to marry
another. How could he let this happen?
Emma Wildes is at her best in this delightfully wicked, yet
tenderly erotic Regency romance that is sure to win the
hearts of her readers. With her solid understanding of the
regency period and strong well-developed characters, you'll
delight in the sparkling repartee as each one tries to find
out the real heart inside the public persona of the other.

and among the four main characters is also a strong sense
of how the structure of the ton controls the actions of its
members and the impact if one steps out of line! This is
one wager and terrific read you don't want to miss!
