About the Book

A Regency historical romance about a hard-won second chance, a wager with a heart on the line, and two childhood friends who betrayed each other once and can’t outrun the pull between them now.

Twelve years ago she betrayed him.
Now he’s wagering to win her back.

Sophronia Edmons walks back into Victor Rowden’s life on a matchmaking mission, as though the years between them never happened. Once a friendless orphan, Rowden is now the wealthy master of a London club famous for fortunes won and lost in a single night—a man no one bests and no woman tames. So he offers her a wager with intimate stakes: if she wins, she chooses his bride; if he wins, he chooses her next husband. And he means to win, because he won’t watch another man claim her. Not again.

Widowed after a soulless marriage, Sophronia is done gambling on anyone but herself—certain that matching others is her gift and love is a hand she’ll never be dealt. But the boy who was once her best friend has become a passion she can’t resist, and losing her heart to a notorious rogue is the one bet she can’t afford. Too many years and too many changes lie between them, and she can’t be sure this Rowden is still the champion she once loved.

Perfect for readers who love:

  • Second-chance friends-to-lovers Regency romance
  • A rakish club owner and a self-made widow
  • Sweeping, sensual, wager-driven historical romance
  • Betrayal, reunion, and one last gamble on love

Misty Urban

Misty Urban wrote her first story at age 5 for the benefit of her younger sister. It was, sources say, a rather conventional piece involving cats, mats, and possibly bats (the work is no longer extant). Her next venture, a journalism/reportage effort entitled “The Urban Star,” peaked at a circulation of 3. She wrote her first novel at age 16. It remains unpublished.

Her subsequent career paths have included stints as a bookseller in Madison, WI; an MA student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, FL; a combined MFA/Ph.D. student at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY; and four years as an assistant professor at Lewis Clark State College in Lewiston, ID. She has most recently come to rest in eastern Iowa, where she reads and writes in the company of one handsome park ranger, two young aspiring writers, and a rather heavy collection of books.
