A Brother's Wager

by Rosanne E. Lortz

Book 1 of the Comfort Quartet series

121 pages · First published 2024

A gentleman’s wager places reputation, family expectation, and courtship on a collision course in Regency England. What begins as a contest or bargain between men becomes much more complicated once the woman at its center proves unwilling to behave like a prize to be won. Social obligations and growing attraction expose the difference between treating marriage as strategy and recognizing the person behind the arrangement. Rosanne E. Lortz uses period manners, humor, and romantic tension to build a clean historical romance around a wager whose real cost may be the trust of the people involved.
