The Marriage Wager [Mass Market Paperback] Ashford, Jane

A Regency lord makes a reckless bet that marriage is purely transactional — no feelings required. Naturally, he's proven spectacularly wrong. Jane Ashford delivers a witty, warm-hearted romp where a cynical rake and a sharp-tongued heroine enter a marriage of convenience, only to discover that proximity breeds something far more dangerous than affection. The banter crackles, the misunderstandings pile up in delightfully absurd ways, and beneath the comedy sits a genuine exploration of what it means to choose partnership over pride. Ashford writes Regency romance with a light touch and real chemistry, never letting the period details overwhelm the characters. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn or anyone who wants their historical romance served with humor and heart.
