One evening, an argument at a ball turns into a serious wager: Jeremy will marry within the year or Diana will forfeit one hundred pounds. So shortly after, just before a fortnight-long house party at Elderwild, Jeremy's country estate, Diana is shocked when Jeremy appears at her home with a very different kind of proposition. After his latest mistress unfavorably criticized his skills in the bedroom, Jeremy is looking for reassurance, so he has gone to the only woman he trusts to be totally truthful. He suggests that they embark on a brief affair while at the house party-Jeremy can receive an honest critique of his bedroom skills and widowed Diana can use the gossip to signal to other gentlemen that she is interested in taking a lover. Diana thinks taking him up on his counter-proposal can only help her win her wager. With her in the bedroom and Jeremy's marriage-minded grandmother, the formidable Dowager Marchioness of Willingham, helping to find suitable matches among the eligible ladies at Elderwild, Diana is confident her victory is assured. But while they're focused on winning wagers, they stand to lose their own hearts"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nobility $z England $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wagers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Regency, 1811-1820 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 28 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014412.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011235.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040435.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022156.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011446.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20231117010755.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012432.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022637.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20231002155639.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20230720010311.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022152.0 952 $l VQPC384 $d 20230114015616.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063912.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20220607011957.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518025035.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220503071327.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220414010030.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20220331010351.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20210724010139.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014102.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064358.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713014121.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210602011829.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010320.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013513.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210504011050.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210504010708.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210504010306.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01089A2C99C211EBB5A91D6626ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
