A handsome libertine accepts a wicked wager to win the favour of his unscrupulous ladylove. A virtuous young woman is set to be ruined on the eve of her arranged marriage. Charismatic rakes and dark agendas set the scene in this multi-layered Georgian mystery and romance in which innocent Celeste Rosington must play a risky game if she’s not to fall victim to the greed and ambition of her powerful enemies. But just who is the enemy? When Celeste disguises herself to aid her future husband, she inadvertently finds herself in the arms of notorious libertine, Lord Peregrine. And she likes it. But with her reputation in the balance, Celeste soon finds herself navigating the treacherous waters of envy, intrigue and deadly secrets. As an unwitting pawn in a deadly battle between adversaries, she must choose where to place her allegiance. Her greatest conflict is between her head and her heart. Choosing the wrong man, she knows, could mean the difference between life and death. *Wicked Wager was previously published by Harlequin Escape under the name Beverley Eikli. This exciting, fast-paced Georgian romance with mystery and intrigue has since been revised. Here's what the readers say: “Cloaked in mystery and dark agendas Wicked Wager…is a wonderful expedition into intrigue and romance! Nothing is as it seems in this book and as the story evolved clues and romance built.” ~ Jenerated Reviews. “The author knows how to weave a web full of mystery and suspense, and I had a great time relating to the heroine. Wicked Wager isn't the typical historical romance, it's very complex and intense.” ~ Kindle Reader “A great novel about a lord who is bored and likes playing games, especially when there are women involved. The game playing is fun and the romantic aspect …is great.” ~ Kindle Reader “A powerful page-turner with a compelling romance, a gripping 'edge of the seat' mystery and characters that held me spellbound.” ~ Kindle Reader "Full of mystery, intrigue, and romance. This book is set aside from all others. Totally immersible and hadn't realised I had finished it until I turned the last page. What a book!!"~ Kindle Reader

The infamous rake, Lord Richard Hamilton, has finally chosen his bride-the very appropriate Miss Emma Grey. The ton approves, Lord Grey is pleased, Lady Grey delighted, and Emma is over the moon, but her uncle, (the blasted) Duke of Arden opposes the match, and Emma is ordered to move to the duke's estate to think things over. Richard Hamilton refuses to take things lying down and concocts a plan. A plan that should have brought the lovers together and had them married within a month. It was a simple matter of masquerading as the duke's gardener, compromising the lady, and then having the duke rush them off to Gretna Green. Alas, he underestimates the duke's intelligence and the tangled situation on the estate-never had he imagined that compromising a lady could be so difficult. His endeavours lead to a comedy of errors, charades, and knotty love affairs. Yet he forges ahead in spite of pesky house guests, a flea bitten mattress, his lovesick best friend, and a blackmailer. Just when things seem to be going well, someone is murdered (very inconvenient), and he happens to be one of the suspects (extremely inconvenient). His simple plan for winning the wager suddenly becomes ... a tad complicated.
