Wagering on the Wallflower (Young Victorian Ladies, 1)

A wallflower

And an elegant gentleman…

Gauche Hazel Springfeld is reconciled to being left on the shelf. At a society ball, she is improbably asked to dance by charismatic Mr. Lucas Darkwood. When she discovers it was all for a wager—he’ll win a prize if he can turn her into marriage material—Hazel plans to get her own back! She’ll frighten Lucas into thinking she really does expect that proposal— from him!
