Description
After years of playing the rogue to hide a dark family secret, the Duke of Aversley feels tainted beyond redemption and cynical beyond repair. Never does he imagine hope will come in the form of a quirky, quick-witted lady determined to win the heart of another aristocrat.
Thanks to a painfully awkward past, Lady Amelia De Vere long ago relinquished the notion she was a flower that had yet to blossom. But when her family faces financial ruin and the man she has always loved is on the verge of marrying another, she’ll try anything to transform herself to capture her childhood love and save her family—including agreeing to participate in a bet between her brother and the notorious, dangerously handsome Duke Of Aversley.
Bound by the bet, Amelia and Aversley discover unexpected understanding and passion beyond their wildest dreams, if only they can let go of their pride, put trust in each other, and chance losing their hearts.

I really enjoyed this story. This was the audio version and it kept me wanting to continue to listen. Tim Campbell brought the characters to life, and I loved listening to him tell the tale of Amelia and Colin. Amelia’s honest and innocence were the main reason I wanted to keep read. Watching her prove herself to Colin was fun. Colin had been shaped by a rough childhood so it was hard for him to accept. He was gruff and did not believe he had any good in him. It was satisfying as things came together so he could see his own truth, and I cried each time a layer was exposed. I highly recommend this story.
I received a copy of this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
