But when her fellow wallflowers become targets of a band of rogues, Prudence ventures out of the shadows to aid them. Silas Hayward, Viscount Winstead, and his friends make an unfortunate wager, one that Silas deeply regrets. If his family didn’t so desperately need the winnings, he would’ve found a way to bow out. Twelve balls and a dance with twelve different wallflowers. How hard could it be? Prudence has no intention of allowing any of the rogues to win the ridiculous wager—not when she’s one of the twelve.
