An Earl's Wager Joyce Alec

An earl's wager turns into a London scandal that threatens to ruin Lady Ellen's and Lord Hartley's lives.
Lady Ellen's first London Season is a very exciting time. Her dear friend, Lady Charlotte, has been kind enough to introduce her to many eligible gentlemen. However, Lady Charlotte also warns her to stay away from known rogues, such as Lord Hartley.
Lord Hartley has no interest in marriage for the time being and certainly does not believe in love. He is fully aware of his bad reputation, but does not care one jot! When Lord Mallon makes a bet with him that he will not be able to win the affections of Lady Ellen, Lord Hartley cannot refuse. It is all just a game, is it not?
However, when Lord Hartley's feelings for Lady Ellen become stronger than his desire to win the wager, Lord Hartley knows he must come clean. When an unexpected scandal erupts, Lady Ellen is forced into an unwanted marriage much to her dismay.
Will love prevail in a dire situation?
