First Place Winner of the Chantelaine Award for Best Debut Novel from Chanticleer Book Reviews
---Passion changes everything. So does betrayal...When Lord Alec Carstairs returns from the Peninsular Wars, hailed as a hero in the midst of the London Season, only Annabelle Layton knows the sort of man that he really is, that the honor everyone praises is illusory.
They'd been close friends once, before a passionate kiss changed everything. But if she'd secretly loved him, those feelings had died one bright summer morning, when a reckless wager left Annabelle with terrifying injuries. Alec had abandoned her without a backwards glance.
Hardly the actions of a hero.
But Alec has never forgotten her, despite his vow to stay away. There is more to that long-ago day than Annabelle knows, and shocking lies have distorted the past. Can he uncover its painful truths, and still keep his distance from the stunning beauty? Can he deny his forbidden desire, even as it flares again between them, hotter than ever?

Parts of Once Upon A Wager deal with the stresses of a soldier returning home from a brutal war. A situation not unlike what many of our nation's soldiers, after more than 11 years of war, are facing. I am proud to announce that I will be giving a percentage of my earnings from this book to The Wounded Warrior's Project. And while I'm not allowed to provide a link to the charity from this page, I encourage you to learn more about it online.
