Wagered Heart An alarming kiss The incident was quite unexpected. Enjoying a spring afternoon’s shopping with her relatives, Miss Juliann Alard could not have been better chaperoned with the British Royal Navy by her side. Even so, a handsome stranger caught up to her, and before she knew what was happening, Miss Alard was in his arms—being kissed! The young lady slapped her assailant, of course, but not before her reputation was fairly tarnished—and the memory of his passionate kiss forever sealed on her lips. The stranger in question, the Duke of Kelbourne, has made a name for himself by such roguish acts as this. Now, to allay rumors, the mortified Miss Alard must cut short her season and return home—where she’ll concoct an elaborate plan to exact her revenge. Little does she know, however, that the duke also has some plans up his rakish sleeve…
