Lady Betsy Wilde has survived her first London season with a duke's proposal in hand. Before she accepts marriage, she craves one final adventure. She devises a scandalous plan that no proper gentleman would entertain. Lord Jeremy Roden proves he is anything but proper. He proposes a wager over billiards. Victory brings Betsy the breeches she needs for her escapade. Defeat means she belongs to Jeremy for one night. The game begins as a battle of wills between two stubborn souls. Jeremy expects to claim his prize and move on. Instead, he discovers that a single evening cannot satisfy what he truly wants from Betsy. Now he faces his greatest challenge. He must persuade the woman he desires to reject her duke and choose him instead.
