When love is a
gamble, place your bets on the Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society.
The women of the
Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society gather every Wednesday for an on-going game of
whist, but while most people play cards for money, the ladies of the Wagering
Whist Society play for secrets. The person with the fewest number of points at
the end of a game must divulge her deepest, darkest secret. Not a word of
anyone’s secret may be shared outside of the group, but that doesn’t mean that
the ladies can’t offer assistance to anyone who needs it—and they all do at one
point or another.
This nine book Regency romance series,
spread out over three seasons, is filled with laughter, hidden identities,
private fears, adorable children, secrets, and the sweetest Cavalier King
Charles Spaniel named Duchess. Each book features one of the eight members.
Book number nine will feature Joshua Powell, Viscount Wickford, owner of
Powell’s Club for the Refined Gentleman. Every book is a stand alone novel with
at least one central romance and a secondary second-chance romance featuring an
older couple.
Love is what the
Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society does best. Whether it’s helping their own
members or those close to them, the women of the Wagering Whist Society find
that they’ve gotten quite good at helping couples arrange their cards just
right.

The Ladies’ Wagering Whist Society, Book 4
Can
the Ladies of the Wagering Whist Society help sort out a love quadrangle?
It’s
not that the practical Beatrice Kendrick doesn’t trust her mirror twin, the
vivacious and flirtatious Isabel. It’s just that the rebellious Bel has proven
herself all too capable of welcoming the attentions of the wrong sort of man.
So to keep Bel from getting into trouble, Bee secretly accompanies her when she
makes her debut in Regency London. Can Bee shield her own heart while trying to
protect her sister? And can Bel ensure that her quiet sister gets a taste of
the joys of London society – and a chance at romance?
When
the broodingly romantic Edward Conway, nursing a broken heart, meets musically
inclined Bel Kendrick, she stirs a passion in him he wasn’t sure he could ever
feel again after the death of his Italian lover. The strappingly handsome Paul
St. Vincent, too, meets the thoughtful and clever woman he thinks is Bel, and
she seems to be just the sort of intellectually-minded woman he’s looking for.
Only sometimes Edward senses that Bel doesn’t always remember what they’d
discussed the last time they met. And at times she is entirely too giggly for
Paul’s taste.
Both
men, however, have decided that Miss Kendrick is the right woman for him. What
they don’t realize is that they’re both right. But it will take a little
sleight of hand by the ladies of the Wagering Whist Society to untangle this
trick of mirrors.
