โWith witty dialogue and a true gift for storytelling, Alexander creates a world that enchants readersโโsecond in the series following A Little Bit Wicked (Fresh Fiction).
One bachelor down . . . three more to go. Four most desirable gentlemen have wagered one shilling apiece and a bottle of cognac that will go to the last unmarried man standing . . .
Nigel Cavendish knows heโll marry one day, but hopefully that day is many yearsโand many womenโin the future! Until then, the handsome, unrepentant rake intends to enjoy lifeโs pleasures to the fullest.
From the moment Lady Felicity Melville spies the adventurous scoundrel climbing from a neighborโs windowโwith his comely conquestโs husband in hot pursuitโshe knows Nigel is the answer to her prayers . . . with a little reformation, of course. Felicity craves excitement and who in all of London is more exciting than the infamous Mr. Cavendish? So whatโs a girl to do but hatch a scheme to win what she so fervently desires. But her plan works too well when a game of chance and an errant pistol shot abruptly make them husband and wifeโbut in a way neither wanted.
Now Felicity has to prove to her wayward husband that sheโs the only woman he could ever want . . . or need!
โ[A] delightful, witty Regency tale . . . A fine cast of supporting characters, including the elderly but mischievous card sharks Lord and Lady Fernwood, keep the laughs up throughout.โ โPublishers Weekly
