Miss Weston’s Wager

Ms. Newbold’s book is constructed around William’s missing memories of his past, especially the memories involving Harriet, and a wager.

The characters and setting of Brighton draw you in, leaving you as lost and wondering as William as to what happened to estrange him and Harriet in the past and how they will move forward in the future, depending on whether his memories return or not.

There are family undercurrents of drama and expectation at play.

The characters and emotions are well constructed, and make them likeable and desirable. You feel their hopes and fears on every page.

This a heartfelt sweet read. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series.

A forgotten past, an impossible wager, and a second chance.

Despite her every effort, Harriett Weston cannot forget the boy she once loved—or the day she banished him from her life forever. Trapped in a wager with her matchmaking sister, she can no longer avoid William forever. She is required to endure three meetings with him, the beginnings of a courtship that could easily undo the determination of her carefully guarded heart.

Matters are further complicated when an opportunity arises for Harriett to go to London for the upcoming season, and William’s return to Brighton leaves him injured and unable to remember his past. When Harriett is credited for saving his life, William is drawn to her, believing that she can help him unravel the mysteries of his lost memory. Even his lost memories of her.

When a wicked force tries to keep them apart, can Harriett and William overcome regret, find courage, and claim a second chance at love?
