When a duke discovers the woman he loves was tricked into marrying another, the master chess player makes the now-widowed viscountess the highest-stakes wager of his life in a last-ditch effort to win her affection: he will find husbands for her two sistersâor depart forever...
Georgina Wilcox, a wallflower with hidden musical talents, is furious when her reclusive older sisterâthe recently widowed viscountessârefuses sorely needed help from the Duke of Torrance, the only gentleman who has shown kindness to the bereft Wilcox sisters. Georgina decides to get back at her sister and shock the viscountess by kissing the first willing stranger she meets in the enchanting gardens of Anya House. Unfortunately, her sister is not the sole witness. A group of reporters and the tonâs leading gossips catch Georgina in a passionate embrace with a reticent composer, Lord Mark Sebastian.
The third son of an influential marquis, the tongue-tied Mark is determined to keep the scandal from ruining Georginaâs reputation and his own prospects of winning the celebrated Harlbertâs Prize for music. Under the guise of private voice lessons, the two embark on a daring gamble to fool the ton into believing that their feigned courtship is honorable while bolstering Georginaâs singing genius to captivate potential suitors. Sexist cartoons, family rivalries, and an upcoming ball test the fake coupleâs resolve. Will their sudden fiery collaborationâand growing attractionâprove thereâs nothing false about a first kiss and scandalously irresistible temptation?
