THE WAGER (Ruthless Regency Dukes 1) is the first book in USA Today and Amazon International #1 Bestselling Author, Carole Mortimer’s, NEW Regency Romance series. Six Dukes, bound together by their friendship and loyalty to The Crown. Then one of them is killed at the Battle of Waterloo, splintering the friendship of the five left behind, as they blame themselves and each other for their friend’s death. Until they learn he didn’t die in battle at all, he was murdered. The search for the killer begins! Everyone knew that entering into a wager, with the cold and ruthless Grayson Vaughn, the Duke of Flint, was pure madness. Losing that wager even more so. But that is exactly what Chastity has done. Now she must pay the ruthless duke’s price.
