How hard could it be?Prudence has no intention of allowing any of the rogues to win the ridiculous wager--not when she’s one of the twelve. While a steamy kiss with Silas has her reconsidering her opinion of rogues, she refuses to allow her friends to be hurt.Silas is knocked sideways as he comes to know Prudence as he tries to convince her to dance with him. She stands between him and the prize, and suddenly there’s more at stake than the money, yet he can’t possibly choose her over helping his family.Who will win the wallflower wager?This is a standalone novella loosely connected to The Mayfair Literary League series, which starts with A Matter of Convenience. less
