When Lord Peregrine accepts a wager to win the favour of his unscrupulous ladylove, he does not expect to fall in love with the woman he promises to ruin.
Nor does he question the reasons behind the wager.
It's enough to have proof that the supposedly virtuous Miss Celeste Rosington does not deserve her position as society's darling.
When beautiful, virtuous Celeste Rosington disguises herself to aid her future husband, she inadvertently finds herself in the arms of notorious libertine, Lord Peregrine.
Bound to an arranged marriage with her cousin, Raphael, since childhood, Celeste is disconcerted by her attraction to dashing Lord Peregrine as she works to reclaim an item Raphael insists is his.
Despite her attempts at discretion, Celeste's reputation is suddenly the talk of the town.
Someone, she realises, wishes to see her ruined.
But who? And why?
As Celeste questions the bonds of loyalty she's taken for granted, she must decide if dashing Lord Peregrine is friend or foe.
Dare she take a chance on love when misplacing her allegiance could come at the cost of her life?
