Romance: Victorian Romance: Her Daring Gambit (Post Victorian Aristocracy Arranged Marriage) (19th 20th Century Fiction Victorian Military Romance)

Roma Burrows and her friend Rebecca Cronk own and run a bookstore together, but Rebecca has always been too wild, too bold, too improper for books. When she inherits a great deal of money, she means to leave the store and go travelling, abandoning Roma. Roma will not take a loan, so the friends devise a bet. If Roma will kiss Casper Bates at a party, in front of everybody, Rebecca will give her two-hundred pounds. Roma is shocked, appalled, offended—and she agrees.

Casper Bates has recently come into a “tidy sum”. He means to go to America and make it even tidier. He invites a woman named Miss Burrows to his party, mostly just to fill up the numbers, but then the strangest thing happens. Without a word, she walks straight to him and kisses him. He immediately kisses her back. He has never met such a brave, beautiful, intelligent woman.

How can he go to America now?

Lust has captivated both of them. Their behavior will challenge late-Victorian ideals, but they are not concerned with that. They are concerned only with the perfect moment of pleasure.
