About this ebook

He’s betting on love…

Margaret Stockwick is still mourning the loss of her beloved parents when her brother whisks her away from the family estate. Unbeknownst to Meg, Hector has no plans to allow her to return. Instead, he’ll see her ensconced in London after the Christmas season to be married off as quickly as possible, thereby relieving himself of any further responsibility for her welfare. Meg is devastated; not only by her brother’s betrayal, but at the prospect of spending the holidays with his best friend, the roguish Lord Clement.

Otis spends nearly all his days at his family’s estate, the better to protect his mother and siblings. But his greatest wish is to remove them from beneath the thumb of his scheming father. Then Lord Vyne presents a wager—marry in three months, and Otis can win a bit of freedom for his family. It’s a gamble Otis intends to win. But not with the chit his father’s chosen, an arrangement based on financial gain. No. Otis is determined to marry for love and mutual respect…and it isn’t long before he finds the lovely Meg inspiring both.

A steamy regency romance novella.

An Enchanting Story What an enjoyable Regency novella! Often romantic novellas don't seem to have enough space for developing characterization or plot, and authors often resort to the dreaded information dump. Blissfully, this author and book did not have any problems on those counts. In the hero and heroine, she has created complex characters who are misunderstood and bullied by those who should love them, her older brother for the heroine and his father for the hero. She's also created rather intense family dynamics on both sides. The hero's mother is certainly a sympathetic character, trapped in a cruel marriage but still with a heart of a woman who seeks to help the daughter of a friend and only wants happiness for her son, even if it is at her own expense. The heroine's brother had given her a wrong impression of the hero, who happens to be one of his better friends. The heroine imagines him to be as much of a rogue as her brother and as uncaring. But she is soon disabused of that notion, and I loved the way that the hero treated her and his mother and younger siblings. I’ve read a fair number of books lately, but I don't think I've seen such a kind, considerate, and good-hearted hero in a long time; I loved the way he treated the women and children in his family. He's the perfect swoon-worthy historical romantic hero. This book was a pleasure to read. I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Such a delightful story about two wonderful characters that meet at a time they truly needed each other. Still mourning the loss of her parents, Margaret's brother takes her to the estate of his friend Otis, who she remembers from her childhood. Otis is smitten when he sees her and she cannot think him but handsome. But it takes this couple several twist and turns to get to their happy ever after which kept me turning the pages as fast as I could. I loved Otis.. He is the hero that warms the heart.. Truly enjoyed this story!

ONE ENTRANCING JOURNEY!!! Sensational! Heather not only hit the motherload with this brilliantly composed work of art, riding one arresting storyline and gripping plot, wrapping this baby up sleek, shiny and tight. Blurred lines and crossed boundaries, expectations are weighed and balanced, flinging this jewel forward without a hitch, kicking it into overdrive, throwing it into a hissy with an life-changing realization.
