“A tale told with humour and heart; the perfect read for a cold winter's night.” – Good Friends, Good Books

An evening at White’s with his friend Lord Ormond gave rise to Christopher St. Ives, Viscount Eustace’s scandalous wager: Eustace must seduce, bed and walk away from the lovely Lady Leisterfield, all by Twelfth Night. A challenge, indeed, since Grace, Lady Leisterfield, was known to all as a virtuous widow.

With her husband having passed a year ago, Grace shed the drab colors of mourning to don an elegant gown for her theater outing with Muriel, the Dowager Countess of Claremont. Rogues would attend, promised the countess, and the possibility excited Grace. She had no idea she was the subject of a wager agreed to by the handsome, dashing and dangerous man called The Redheaded Rake.

The Twelfth Night Wager is a book related to Reagan Walker’s series Agents of the Crown. This series is a collection of late Georgian-era historical romances centered on “dashing heroes” who are hand-picked by the Prince Regent for dangerous “special assignments.” One of these heroes is Christopher St. Ives,Viscount Eustace. He is such a scoundrel that he has earned the moniker The Redheaded Rakehell. Visiting White’s Gentleman’s Club one night, his friend Marquess of Ormond challenges him to a scandalous wage which he readily accepts. And what is this scandalous wager? Seduce and bed the beautiful widow Grace, Lady Leisterfield. But when Grace is threatened, Eustace must choose between the wager and doing what is right. What will he choose? This has been my first book by Walker and I couldn’t put it down. There are some sensual moments. I can’t wait to read more.
