Lady Allerton's Wager

Beth, Lady Allerton, is determined to reclaim Fairhaven Island, stolen from her family generations before by the treacherous Earl of Trevithick. She challenges the current Earl, Marcus Trevithick, to a wager – his island against her virtue!

Marcus Trevithick is intrigued by the lovely incognita who throws down the challenge. Soon he is pursuing her, determined to learn more of her identity – and to tempt her into his bed. As both Beth and Marcus race to claim Fairhaven it seems inevitable that the chase can end only in each other’s arms. But when it comes to a choice, which does Beth want more – the Earl of Trevithick, or her beloved island?

A bold and determined hero meets his match in a heroine who is impulsive and intelligent. Passionate, fast-paced and original, this is a Regency historical not to be missed from award nominated, bestselling author Nicola Cornick. Look out for the sequel, The Notorious Marriage, coming in June 2003.
