Romance Historical | Historical

When Roslyn Loring decides to learn the art of seduction to make her future husband, the Earl of Haviland, fall in love with her, she turns to an old family friend who's one of London's most sought-after courtesans. And what better place to learn the craft than at the Cyprian's Ball. But Roslyn never thought for a moment that someone would mistake her for a lady for hire. However, one of her new brother-in-law's best friends, the Duke of Arden, makes just such an assumption. Drew Moncrief is a notorious rake, realizing that one day he will have to do his duty and marry to carry on the family name, but he plans to continue to take lovers.

Roslyn is sure the Earl of Haviland will make a fine husband, but she asks Drew if he will instruct her on what a man likes. Drew agrees to help, but he knows his best friend will kill him if he finds out. When Roslyn and Drew are caught together without a chaperone, Drew does the right thing and claims they are betrothed. Even though the betrothal is temporary, Roslyn and Drew get closer and closer. Roslyn calls everything off when she realizes Drew will never love her with his heart. When Drew finally realizes he does love Roslyn, will it be too late?

TO BED A BEAUTY is wild, sexy reading. I just love the characters; they play very well together and come alive on the page. This is the second story for the Loring sisters, and I'm looking forward to Lily's story. I'm sure it will be just as good as the first two.

SUMMARY

Clever and charming Roslyn Loring, the middle of three
beautiful, independent sisters, knows true happiness lies
in a marriage of the heartβ€”and she has hers set on a love-
match with a neighboring earl. Yet her sharp mind has
observed an undeniable truth: gentlemen lavish passion on
their mistresses, not their wives. Roslyn realizes that to
win her future husband's devotion, she must learn the
secrets of kindling a gentleman's ardor. Fortunately, she
finds a willing tutor in the Duke of Arden, a notorious
rake whispered to be London's most magnificent lover. If
his searing kisses are any indication, Drew Moncrief is
the ideal man to teach her how to be the perfect mistress.

Drew begins her schooling while coolly guarding his heart.
But as best-laid plans are thwarted by unexpected eventsβ€”a
night of unforgettable passion and a hurried betrothalβ€”
Roslyn and her wickedly arousing tutor discover how easily
lessons in pleasure can become lessons in love....nnnnn
