The Bluestocking and the Dastardly, Intolerable Scoundrel - Paperback

by Jenni James (Author)

Lord Alistair Compton could not believe Lady Lacey Lamb had the boldness to cut him in the middle of the Huffingtons' ball. She flatly refused to stand up with him! He responded the only way a man of his consequence could-by placing a wager at White's. Lady Ice would fall hopelessly in love with him before the Season was through. Lacey had never been so appalled, so shocked, so scandalized! How dare the monstrous buffoon treat her so horridly, guaranteeing the gossips banter her name about over a ridiculous wager? It was not to be endured. With the help of her brother, Lord Melbourne, a counter bet was placed, and the stakes were high-for who could resist falling for the lovely bluestocking when she was most definitely in the right?
