About The Double Wager
Henry was no gentleman In fact, Henry was not a man at all.

But now Henry had to be even more than a lady. She had to become a wife - to the handsomest, most sought-after, worldly and bored lord in London, the Duke of Eversleigh. For Henry had wagered her most precious possession that she would achieve this seemingly impossible goal, and she dreaded what would happen if she lost...just as she feared what might occur if she won...
