The Misses Penelope Yarwood, Euphemia Perkins, and Letitia Helmsdale all smugly informed her that the Marquess of Cleveden was at once the most eligible and the most elusive catch in the London marriage mart. Society's most dazzling beauties had failed to win him over yet, and a newcomer like Fiona didn't stand a ghost of a chance of having him look at her twice.
That was all that fiery-tempered Fiona needed to hear, and she bet—far more wealth than she possessed—that she would snare the maddeningly elusive marquess before the season's end.
Now Fiona faces the risk of losing a wager she cannot repay—and more, the even greater danger of losing her heart.
