Debt of Honour — Elizabeth Carey

THE GAMBLE...

When young Dominic, in a moment of wild desperation, bet his sister Sarah as a stake in a card game, he had no idea he would be taken seriously. But he was. And when the winner, the dashing Lord Hawkeworth, came to claim his prize, Sarah was outraged beyond measure. And yet she felt something stir within her when she finally came face to face with her "betrothed"

Nevertheless, the situation was not to be borne. It was a scandal -- a disgrace. So Sarah disguised herself as a servant and ran away.

But fate has strange ways to bring true lovers together.
