A Wager for the Wallflower: A Regency Romance of Hidden Hearts, Family Secrets, and Lasting Devotion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187108299)

Can one reckless wager change a forgotten lady's future... or destroy the only love either of them has ever known?

For three London Seasons, Lady Cressida Wycliffe has perfected the art of disappearing into the background. Quiet, intelligent, and devoted to her family, she has long accepted that Society sees her as little more than a wallflower. While other young ladies capture every dance and every proposal, she quietly prepares herself for a life without love.

Lord Alaric Thorne, Viscount Blackmere, is London's most admired gentleman. Charming, confident, and determined to avoid marriage, he accepts what seems like an innocent challenge: transform the overlooked Lady Cressida into the most sought-after lady of the Season.

What begins as a harmless game soon changes everything.

As Cressida's confidence blossoms, so does the admiration of London's highest circles. Invitations arrive. Suitors compete for her attention. The woman no one noticed becomes the lady everyone hopes to win.

But beneath glittering ballrooms and elegant country estates, old family secrets refuse to remain buried.

When Cressida uncovers the truth behind Alaric's unexpected kindness, the betrayal threatens not only her heart but everything she holds dear. With her family's honour at risk and powerful enemies determined to claim Brookhaven's legacy, she must decide whether trust can ever be restored, while Alaric faces the greatest challenge of his life: proving that love is worth far more than the wager that first brought them together.

Set against the elegance of Regency England, A Wager for the Wallflower is a heartwarming historical romance filled with slow-burning chemistry, unforgettable characters, sparkling wit, hidden family secrets, and the enduring power of forgiveness.

Perfect for readers who love emotional Regency romance, devoted heroes, resilient heroines, family mysteries, and happily-ever-afters that leave the heart full.
