About The Prodigy and the Diamond

Ten days. Two wagers. The Season's most dangerous game. Oliver Fernley is a musical prodigy. After a few years of tutoring pupils on various instruments, Oliver has decided his current course has amounted to very little. He needs a change. A night out with friends at Whites seems to be the ticket to break him out of his mundane life. A wager or two seems harmless until he is deep in his cups and freely spending beyond his means. According to the gossip columns, Hannah Anderson is the season’s diamond. The debutante to watch, emulate, and befriend. Her identical twin sister is overlooked due to scarring after a misfortunate accident and her awkward exuberance for finding a match. To bolster her sister’s confidence, Hannah enters a wager to prove that any man would take his leave for the countryside if faced with the same faux pas, even if it was Society’s proclaimed diamond. The rules are simple. First, the other party cannot know about the wager. Second, there are only ten days to triumph. Oliver must win Hannah’s heart. Hannah must embarrass Oliver so he will leave town. But in the game of love, nothing is as it seems, and these two wagering enthusiasts find themselves fooled. The Prodigy and the Diamond is a standalone Regency-era romance that will sweep you away to a world of elegance and intrigue as it explores the enduring power of love that can be found in a fake dating romance.
