Summary

He wagered on her marriage prospects. 
She staked her heart on his redemption. 
Neither expected to risk everything. 
London, 1819. After two disastrous courtships, American heiress Amelia Edgewood has sworn off marriage altogether. But when she overhears the notorious Lord Nathaniel Sterling betting he can secure her a proposal by the end of the Season, she throws down a challenge of her own: if he wins, the money goes to her cherished orphanage. 
What begins as a simple arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous to her heart. As Nathaniel introduces Amelia to eligible bachelors, she plays the part of the perfect debutante—until a twist of fate leaves sixteen orphans without shelter. In a move that shocks society and himself, Nathaniel offers his mother’s Bloomsbury townhouse to house the children—with Amelia under the same roof. 
As scandal brews and rumors swirl, their pretend partnership becomes harder to deny. With a child’s life on the line and emotions running high, Amelia and Nathaniel must decide what matters most: reputation, redemption... or a love neither of them saw coming.
