An illegitimate earl's daughter disguised as a stableboy... A duke with his future already mapped out... A passion that upends every well-intentioned plan... Odds on the Rake is sweeping Regency historical romance set against England's racing world, with class-crossing heat and a heroine who refuses to be her mother's story.
She needed his stable. He needed a duchess. Neither of them planned for what happened next.
Gemma Cassidy is the daughter of an earl - on the wrong side of the blanket. To escape her abusive father and make her own way in the world, she'll have to get her hands dirty. Masquerading as a stableboy, she finds herself not only spying on the finest horse racing stable in England, but in dangerously close proximity to the most controlled man she's ever met.
The Duke of Rakesley has everything arranged to his satisfaction - including the search for a duchess who will fit neatly into his well-ordered life. Then Gemma arrives and plays havoc with every careful plan. He can't stop wanting to get closer to all of her beautiful chaos.
Working together reveals a passion neither of them can deny. Rake wants more than a temporary arrangement. But Gemma watched her mother live half a life as the earl's mistress, and she will not settle for the same. The future isn't as clear - or as cold - as either of them had envisioned.
