As a man who loves to compete and never loses, Sebastian, Duke of St. Cross, has one problem in life—he needs an heir. Witnessing his father’s cruel treatment of his mother, Sebastian would avoid marriage altogether if he could. Yet at a party, he sees the beautiful and outspoken Penelope, who consumes his very thoughts and makes him reconsider.
When Penelope learns of his desire for an heir, she offers the duke a wager he cannot resist. They will compete in a series of events, testing their academic knowledge and physical prowess in sports in the ultimate battle of the sexes. The prize? If Penelope wins, the duke will allow her to live her life as a spinster on one of his country estates. If the Duke wins, she will marry him, bear his heir, and still be sent away to one of his estates. How can she possibly lose?
As the games begin, Sebastian’s desire to prove women unworthy of competition slowly begins to wane. In its place rises a dream of a future with Penelope, one in which he succeeds where his father failed. For Penelope, she begins to adore the man she once despised, but fears risking her heart a third time.”
