A resolute spinster at twenty-five, Abigail Weston is
nonetheless determined to see her cherished younger sister
wed to a man of Quality. But Abigail's lack of experience
with the opposite sex menas that she cannot allay her
sister's fears about the marriage bed—unless she takes
bold steps to learn what the intimacy between a man and a
woman entails. Yet the one man in London qualified to
teach her awakens temptation Abigail never anticipated—to
experience each whispered pleasure for herself...
James Stevens—wealthy, dissolute, and wholeheartedly bored
by London society—believes nothing can shock him. While
Abigails' request for a verbal explanation of the
pleasures of the flesh is mildly surprising, what amazes
James is his powerful reaction to her innocence and lush
beauty. A sexual dalliance between them may bring untold
carnal bliss, but anything more would ruin Abigail
forever. And for the first time in his life, James
suspects that mere physical intimacy pales in the face of
true love...
