It all starts with a bet.

To become a famous opera singer is Miss Alexandra Watson’s wildest dream. After her mother’s tragic death, she is determined to never bind herself to a man or follow the rules. Even if she must attend the Season to help her friends marry.

Victor Faraday, the Earl of Larston’s only heir, has decided that his bloodline ends with him. Recently returned from Oxford, he and his friend are ready to conquer the business world. Until a siren’s song makes him stray from his course.

When a new business proposal comes with certain strings attached, Victor is faced with a deadly dilemma: a bargain to win Alexandra’s heart in order to achieve everything he ever wished for. It all starts with a bet and ends in blood on their hands.
