In this Regency romance novella, a daring lady sets out to lose her maidenhood to the town’s most dangerous rogue—but she could lose her heart as well.

To wreck her domineering brother-in-law’s scheme to marry her off, spirited widow Lady Amelia Wheatley must irreparably ruin her reputation. And what better way than to gamble that she can seduce Gareth Travers, the wild young Viscount of Longley? But Amelia never bargained that their one night of passion would make Gareth determined to win her forever.
