A Duke's Wager
Part 1 of the Rent A Rake series
Maurice Everett, the Duke of Edenwick, would do anything for his stable master, Sebastian Wildgoose. Rather than acknowledge his depth of feelings for Wildgoose, or how attractive his stable master is, Maurice decides that the next best thing is to buy Wildgoose the horse that he desires. Except the Prince Regent refuses to sell, offering Maurice a bet instead.The Wager: Train four zebras to pull a four-in-hand carriage.The Prize: Derby winning colt Smolensk.When Sebastian Wildgoose hears about the wager, he shakes his head at the toffs and their nonsense. If only adding a Derby winner to the Duke's farm wasn't so appealing… Almost as appealing as kissing the Duke, or making him smile. It was beyond foolish to think that a Duke would lower himself to show any interest in a mere stable master, and yet, it happens.It can't happen again. Can it? Renée Dahlia is an unabashed romance reader who loves feisty women and strong, clever men. Her books reflect this, with a side-note of dark humour. Renée has a science degree in physics. When not distracted by the characters fighting for attention in her brain, she works in the horse racing industry doing data analysis. She writes for two racing publications, churning out feature articles, interviews and advertorials. When she isn't reading or writing, Renée wrangles a husband, four children, and volunteers on the local cricket club committee.http://www.reneedahlia.comhttps://twitter.com/dekabathttps://www.facebook.com/reneedahliawriter/
