About this ebook

Is happily ever after a possibility for a pair of opposites who meet under the worst possible circumstances? This desperate spinster and angry earl are about to find out…


Brooke Culpepper has no time for frivolous pursuits like love and romance. She’s too busy trying to keep a struggling dairy farm afloat and prevent her family from starving. So, when a man claiming to be the farm’s new owner arrives, she’s willing to do anything to get rid of him. Even if it means proposing a wager with the only thing of value she has. Her virtue…


Heath, Earl of Ravensdale, wants no part of the farm he won at the gaming tables. He plans to sell the detestable place and immediately evict the five women who call it home. It was not his intention to accept the lovely Brooke’s challenge. But he’s dismayed to realize that for some reason, denying her just isn’t within his power… It’s a winner-takes-all bet. The stakes have never been higher. Let the battle of wills—and hearts— begin…

An excellent introduction to the Culpepper women's series. Not only does it tell of a charming romance between Brooke (from an impoverished country gentleman's family) and Heath (a handsome, player earl), but it also gives us clear insights into each of the remaining 4 incomparable women and two of the heroes, an admittedly unusual approach by the author. Brooke is a competent, independent, stunning looker who wins her man with innate dignity and her warm-hearted, generous acceptance of all people and animals she encounters. The writing is outstanding, the characters enchanting, and the pacing compelling.This should definitely be on your "must read" list.
