Betting on a Baron by Rachel Ann Smith

Rumors. Rejection. Romance.

Ambrose Kirkman, Baron Harlowe, has decided it’s time to take a wife.
But he wants a wife who wants him for himself and not his fortune. So he devises a plan: he’ll let the rumor that he’s lost his fortune circulate through the ton and see who’s left. Unfortunately, Lady Daphne Wilcock is determined to help him navigate these troubled waters. Only the more time he spends with Lady Daphne, the more he wants to make her his.
Daphne Wilcock has been in love with her best friend’s brother for years.
Ambrose Kirkman has never looked at her romantically, though. But now that he finds himself in financial difficulties, this is her chance to help him and maybe forge a new bond. Except he’s confusing her more than ever, and she has absolutely no clue where she stands with Baron Harlowe now.
It’s a maze of mishaps and well intentions gone awry for these two lovers to trust in each other and declare themselves before it’s too late.
