The Wedding Wager [Mass Market Paperback] Maxwell, Cathy

When a wager between two London rakes spirals into scandal, Miss Tye it Barlow finds herself at the center of a marriage scheme she never asked for. Enter Lord Justin Barrons — arrogant, impossibly charming, and determined to win both the bet and her hand. But Tye isn't the demure debutante he expected. She's sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and has zero interest in becoming any man's prize. What starts as manipulation becomes something far more dangerous: actual desire. Cathy Maxwell delivers all the sparkling banter and simmering tension Regency romance fans crave, wrapped in a premise that feels refreshingly self-aware. The power dynamics shift, the stakes escalate, and suddenly a marriage of convenience becomes anything but convenient. For readers who want their historical romance with spine, wit, and heat.
