About the Duchess Wager

Will the duke lose the bet or his heart?

The duke accepts a wager

Fitz, the Duke of Harrodshire, views marriage as a business arrangement, not a question of the heart. Especially once he bets his friends that he won’t marry the next woman he fancies. He knows it will be an easy win - until they take refuge from a snowstorm at Bleneccle Manor and he meets Lady Margot Wickham.

A widow in mourning

At her parents’ home in Northern England to recover from her husband’s sudden death, Lady Margot Wickham isn’t sure she’ll ever be ready to face the duties of being a Dowager Countess. When unexpected travelers show up in a snowstorm, Margot is grateful for the distraction.

Until she realizes she might be too distracted by a certain duke. 

Duty calls

When Margot gets notice of unrest at her husband’s cotton mill, she realizes she can put off duty no longer. Alarmed, Fitz volunteers to accompany her south. He plans to help her resolve the issue - but the road trip is a convenient excuse to stay close, too.


Reviews

Five Stars - A charming and quick Regency romance abut a woman not only finding love, but confidence in herself.
— Reedsy Discovery Team
This was our first time reading a book from Katherine Grant, but it won’t be our last! The Duchess Wager is a pretty straightforward Regency romance on the surface. Margot is a widowed countess; Fitz is that quintessentially Austen-esque “man of good fortune in want of a wife” except he’s not just a man, he’s a duke. They meet, banter, and eventually start an affair. But of course, since this is a romance novel, you’d better believe there’s a HEA in store for you.
