Book Description
One high-stakes wager. Two stubborn hearts. After a humiliating debut three years earlier, Lady Prudence Davies decided to embrace her status as a wallflower and sets course for spinsterhood. But when her fellow wallflowers become targets of a band of rogues, Prudence ventures out of the shadows to aid them. Silas Hayward, Viscount Winstead, and his friends make an unfortunate wager, one that Silas deeply regrets. If his family didn’t so desperately need the winnings, he would’ve found a way to bow out. Twelve balls and a dance with twelve different wallflowers. How hard could it be? Prudence has no intention of allowing any of the rogues to win the ridiculous wager—not when she’s one of the twelve. While a steamy kiss with Silas has her reconsidering her opinion of rogues, she refuses to allow her friends to be hurt. Silas is knocked sideways as he comes to know Prudence and doesn’t like the idea of using her to win. Suddenly there’s more at stake than the money, yet he can’t possibly choose her over helping his family. Who will win the wallflower wager? This standalone novella is connected to Revenge of the Wallflowers and The Mayfair Literary League series, which starts with A Matter of Convenience. If you enjoy wallflower romances with charming rogues, read The Wallflower Wager!

Book Description
New York Times and USA Today Bestseller They call him the Duke of Ruin. To an undaunted wallflower, he's just the beast next door. Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke clawed his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society—and now he wants to get even. Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home and her heart. When her imposing—and attractive—new neighbor demands she clear out the rescued animals, Penny sets him a challenge. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes. Done, Gabriel says. How hard can it be to find homes for a few kittens? And a two-legged dog. And a foul-mouthed parrot. And a goat, an otter, a hedgehog . . . Easier said than done, for a cold-blooded bastard who wouldn’t know a loving home from a workhouse. Soon he’s covered in cat hair, knee-deep in adorable, and bewitched by a shyly pretty spinster who defies his every attempt to resist. Now she’s set her mind and heart on saving him. Not if he ruins her first.
