title: Gentleman Jack
author: Summerville, Margaret
description: A Fortunate Wager
  
  Hounded by his illustrious father to change his spendthrift ways, the Viscount Warrington agrees to the most consequential bet of his life: give up gambling for a month... or marry the woman of his father's choice. An unapologetic rake, Warrington cannot bear the thought of marriage, especially to the respectable -- and dull -- society ladies a man of his position is expected to wed.
  
  According to the terms of the bet, Warrington must leave London and not use his title or real name. On his way to Shropshire, he is robbed of his horse, his clothes, and the money he had planned to live on for a month. Beaten and left for dead, he wakes up in the arms of an angel: Antonia Richards, a governess on the estate of a provincial baron. Taking a job as a groom on the estate, Warrington is dubbed "Gentleman Jack" by the other stable hands for his courtly manners. And though he must hide his true identity from the stunning and spirited Antonia, he cannot hide the passion in his heart, a passion strong enough to change his thoughts on life -- and love -- forever....
