AN INDECENT WAGER
By Georgette Brown
Chapter One
DEANA COULD MUSTER NO OATH strong enough to reflect the dismay she felt when Lord Halsten Rockwell revealed his ace and queen. She glanced at her own cards, a king and a ten, to ascertain she had indeed lost. How was it possible? Rockwell had been losing all night.
You owe me fifty pounds, Miss Herwood,
Lord Rockwell stated placidly as he collected the winnings in the middle of the table. It included a chit signed in her own hand.
She suppressed a glower, for she would not be dubbed bitter in defeat.

She watched him replace a beautiful onyx ring upon his hand and found herself regarding his rugged fingers. She had never before paid much heed to a man’s hand—or a woman’s for that matter—but his conveyed strength, agility and even gentleness.
Dismissing the odd warmth that flared in her of a sudden, she glanced about the gaming hell for someone she might harry to lend her fifty quid.

I would have you in my bed, Miss Herwood. For one night, I will take my pleasure of you, after which, your debt to me will be acquitted in its entirety.
You would make of me a whore?
she asked when she had collected her wits and realized that he did not speak in jest. No one would mistake her family for members of
