They Bet Who Would Dance With the Plain Girl First — The Duke Wrote His Name in the Book Too

London, 1816. Behind a marble pillar, plain Miss Pippa Merriweather overhears two gentlemen laughing: they have entered a wager in the betting book at White's on which of them will be first to dance with "the plain girl". Then she learns one more name was written beneath theirs — the Duke of Severn's. Is the cold, silent Duke part of the cruel game? Or did he write his name for a reason no one at White's could guess? A sweet, clean Regency romance audiobook — a bookseller's daughter with a sharp pen, a proud Duke who never dances, and one wager that ends in front of all London.
