A wastrel for a father … A dangerous rake … and a practical maiden who had her life already planned out … and her perfect groom in her sights ….

It wasn’t the sort of thing that impressed Arabella … favorably. She was far too practical minded for that sort of nonsense. Then she discovered her wastrel of a father had wagered her on a game of chance—and lost—to Lord Wellington.
