Worth Winning

Charles Burnsten, the sixth Earl of Dresford, is one of England’s most eligible bachelors. In a fit of madness, Charles agrees to an outrageous wager: to make any woman of his friend Archibald’s choosing fall in love with him—without the benefit of his wealth or title.

Picking the one woman he knows will never fall in love, Archibald is all but guaranteed to win the wager.

Julia Morland is a vicar’s daughter who’s more interested in science and philanthropy than romance. She’s been burned by love before, and she wants nothing to do with Archibald, her former suitor, or his mysterious wastrel of a friend.

A disguise, a wager, and an ex-suitor: what could go wrong?
