The upright rule-follower of the Boscastle clan, Emma,
spends her days teaching young girls how to act in society
and the rest of her time trying to control her family and
their outlandish behavior. She doesn't expect to find
herself on the "daring" side of the family until events at
a wedding show her how easy it is to cross to the dark
side.
When Emma finds one of her suitors in a compromising
position, she spurns him on the spot. Except he doesn't
take it well, and nearby rogue Adrian Ruxley leaps in to
help her. Only, in a not very dashing manner (much to his
dismay), he ends up brained by a footman armed with a
chair.
Rumors begin and even threaten Emma's school. A rival has
opened another school and is insinuating that Emma may not
be as upstanding as she has always appeared. Unfortunately,
at least in Emma's opinion, she's beginning to care a
little less about what everyone thinks and a little more
about the passion that Adrian has ignited.
The Boscastle series is one of my favorites! Ms. Hunter
twists plots, people and dialogue into delicious, sexy fun.
You'll enjoy seeing Emma realize that life isn't always
about following the rules -- and Adrian realize that
sometimes, rules can be fun!
Adrian Ruxley may be a ruggedly charming rogue, but he’s not
a man to stand idly by while a lady is accosted–even at a
wedding organized by the lady herself, Emma Boscastle,
instructress in the social graces at her London academy for
young gentlewomen. Adrian confronts the offender, a scuffle
ensues, and now this smooth-talking heir is left to
recuperate under Emma’s very roof, delighted to see the deep
concern in her lovely face. She has a charm no scoundrel can
resist.
Emma is scandalized by her own behavior–seduced by a
handsome stranger, indeed! How will she be able to hide her
indiscretion from the perceptive Boscastle siblings? The
divine passion that Adrian has unleashed, and the sensual
delights he has shown her, have suddenly turned Emma’s days
at the fledgling academy into a display of impropriety and
her nights into a velvet abyss of sensual abandon. But as
their intimacy reveals Adrian’s turbulent secrets, Emma is
inspired to her most ambitious endeavor: redeeming a rake.
