The Duke's Ruinous Bet

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Escape into Regency London with this sweeping tale of wagers, waltzes, and second chances.

Alexander Blackthorne, Duke of Aylesford, has spent four years being the perfect duke—controlled, distant, untouchable. He locked away his music room, his emotions, and his heart after tragedy struck his family. When his friends challenge him to a wager—five thousand pounds that he won't dance for an entire Season—he accepts without hesitation. Dancing means vulnerability, and vulnerability is something he can no longer afford. 

Enter Phoebe Harcourt, the brilliant wallflower everyone overlooks. She's spent years managing her family's crumbling finances and her brother's gambling debts while fading into the background of every ballroom. She doesn't expect to be noticed. She certainly doesn't expect the Duke of Aylesford to see her.

But he does.  

One waltz changes everything. One scandalous dance that ruins his wager, threatens her reputation, and unlocks both their hearts.

What follows is a love story about choosing vulnerability over perfection, partnership over pride, and love over fear. It's about locked rooms that need opening, wallflowers who bloom in the light, and dukes who learn that losing can be the greatest win of all.
