The Bet
Page 24
The truth is - everything. Briony is quickly drawn into a battle of wits, disguises, and mystery, which throw her into the dangers of London’s underworld. Marcus is the only person she can rely on, and that grates because she really doesn’t like him at all. He is too strong, too commanding, and more than a little arrogant.
He thinks she is a pain in the proverbial. Her questions drive him nuts. She never does what he asks of her without an argument, and he always seems to be falling over her. He has to be saddled with the most annoying woman he has ever met and resolves to hand her back to her brother the first chance he gets.
Actually handing her over proves difficult, though, when Sayers’ and his gang decide they want her too. When her life is put in danger, it is up to Marcus to save her, and he quickly realises that leaving her far behind is the very last thing he wants.
Can he persuade her to take a chance on him? Or will their battle with Sayers’ scare her away and stop her ever accepting his life with the Star Elite? Either way, with his world changing around him all the time, Marcus is forced to question everything he thought he wanted, especially when the Star Elite’s traitor double-crosses them all in the worst way possible.

RELEASED JULY 2017
TO HONOUR WAGER SERIES
Book Two
When five friends, Rufus, Elijah, Sam, Robard, and Myles, watch one of the most celebrated rogues of their time marry, a bet is placed. The stakes are high. Nobody can afford to lose.
The bet is to avoid marriage for the next twelve months. It sounds simple enough, but with desperate relatives and conniving and relentless matchmaking mamas determined to trap them at every quarter, and Fate throwing them in rather unusual and adventurous circumstances, the men realise that winning the bet is considerably harder than they ever imagined.
When Rufus is ordered to the Admiralty Office, he receives new orders that are unlike any he has ever had before. The last thing he wants to do is transport the Admiral’s daughter all the way from Brazil. His crew are men of action, not babysitters. However, his orders swiftly change when Abigail is kidnapped by the ruthless French pirate, Turenot.
With the prospect of being able to burn, sink, or take the Amarante as a prize fuelling their thirst for battle, Rufus and his crew set sail for Brazil, and Abigail. Locating the Amarante is easy for an experienced Captain like Rufus. Retrieving Abigail, though, is considerably harder.
This voyage brings the crew many challenges; raging seas, illness, injury, and rebellion, which all threaten to tear the ship apart. To add to that, Rufus has to battle with his desire for the one woman he knew he should never touch; the Admiral’s daughter, the woman who Turenot has an unhealthy interest in.
Can this Captain ever find his happy ever after? Just how far will he have to go to keep her safe, and out of Turenot’s clutches? More importantly, will he have to sacrifice the love of his life for a chance at happiness?
