About this listen

When the wicked widow wagers the notorious rake…the stakes are high, but the temptation is higher.

Lady Theodosia Dundas has spent years reveling in her role as the ton’s most scandalous villain. Known for spreading gossip, ruining reputations, and cutting down anyone who flaunts their happiness before her, while she’s sold to a decrepit viscount. But widowhood has its perks. With her own estate and no man to control her, Theodosia is finally free to live as she pleases—no husband, no rules, and no apologies.

Harcourt Eliot, Earl of St. Germans, has spent his life drowning his demons in brandy, women, and cards. Told since boyhood that he was worthless, Court has never believed himself worthy of anything—until his father’s death gives him the chance to prove otherwise. Determined to right his father’s wrongs, he wins back an estate his father lost long ago… only for Theodosia, his sister’s best friend, to arrive at his door, ready to claim the home for herself.

So they set the terms—she wants the estate, and he wants her…in his bed. But as passion ignites and past wounds surface, who shall be the victor? And is the estate the only thing on the line?
