A Sporting Chance: A Regency Historical Romance

By Emily E K Murdodch

She wasn't supposed to fall for the archer.

He wasn't supposed to fall for the scandal.

Kathleen Andelit is doing everything she can to keep a low profile in London while living with her disgraced sister. But one wrong turn, one lingering look at a handsome archer in the park, and she finds herself caught, literally and figuratively, in the sights of a very intriguing gentleman.

What begins as a foolish wager soon becomes much more.

Lord Leopold Chance, son of a duke and tarnished by a scandal of his own, knows better than to be seen with a woman carrying Society's disapproval. But when Kathleen challenges him to teach her archery, he agrees, if only to get her out of his mind.

Secret lessons turn into stolen kisses.

Attraction becomes affection.

And before long, love is the most dangerous risk of all.

But when a second wager threatens the fragile bond they've built, and interfering families stir up the past, Leopold and Kathleen must decide if this chance at love is worth defying every rule.
