Description: Never Wager with a Wallflower by Virginia Heath Never Wager with a Wallflower is the third and final delightful installment in Virginia Heaths Merriwell Sisters Regency rom-com series. Miss Venus Merriwell has been waiting for her prince to come since the tender age of fourteen. She wants a man who is a selfless academic like her, and free from all the wretched vices her gambler father enjoyed far too much before he left the Merriwell sisters practically destitute. Unfortunately, after a slew of romantic disappointments, there is still no sign of that prince at twenty-three and the only one true love of her life is the bursting-at-the-seams orphanage in Covent Garden that she works tirelessly for. An orphanage that desperately needs to expand into the empty building next door. For Galahad Sinclair, gambling isnt just his life, its in his blood. He grew up and learned the trade at his grandfathers knee in a tavern on the far away banks of the Hudson in New York. But when fate took all that away and dragged him across the sea to London, it made sense to set up shop here. Hes spent five years making a success out of his gaming hall in the sleazy docks of the East End. Enough that he can finally afford to buy the pleasure palace of his dreams--and where better than in the capitals sinful heart, Covent Garden? The only fly in his ointment is the perfect building hes just bought to put it in also happens to be right next door to the orphanage run by his cousins wifes youngest sister. A pious, disapproving and unsettling siren he has avoided like the plague since she flattened him five years ago. While Venus and Galahad lock horns over practically everything, and while her malevolent orphans do their darndest to sabotage his lifelong dream, can either of them take the ultimate gamble--and learn to love thy neighbor? FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography When Virginia Heath was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Now her Regency romcoms (including the Wild Warriners and Talk of the Beau Monde series) are published in many languages across the globe. More than twenty-five books and three Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominations later, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.
