To Wager The Marquis Of Wolverstone - Plot & Excerpts
Monique’s startled question must have been heard in her modiste’s salon, because it suddenly went quiet in the room on the other side of the curtain. “But your life—your heart—is here,” she added in a subdued tone. Sabine shook her head. “No. I was mistaken.” Today was Friday. Tonight she would go to Gower and give him what he desired. Then she would leave England, never to return. Marcus and Alfredo would be safe. Just as in her youth, she’d arrogantly thought she could take on the powerful and win.

Her engagement to Lord Wolverstone will be announced tonight.” Sabine gasped and smothered her mouth with her hand, feeling suddenly nauseous. Two days, he’d waited only two days before moving on—without her.
