With the last of her family possessions gambled away by her
dissolute brother, Lady Sarah Compton has traveled to a
country house gala for one last moment of grace and beauty.
But she is unaware that the occasion is actually a
notorious trysting event, where members of the aristocracy
can indulge in their every sensual fantasy and erotic whim.
Nor does she realize that the striking man who has stolen
into her bedroom is none other than Michael Stevens--a rake
who gives and takes his pleasures boldly...
The bastard son of an earl, Michael Stevens relishes his
reputation as London's most notorious seducer. But he has
no idea what to make of the auburn-haired beauty he's
nearly mistaken for new conquest or how such an innocent
could possibly have been invited to a gather where London's
bored elite caters to each other's carnal desires. When the
lady refuses to heed Michael's warning--to leave the house
for her own protection--a powerful attraction grows, and
soon, he longs to tutor the very proper Lady Sarah Compton
in the art of passion...
