Caroline Turner, Viscountess Wingate, is shocked to the core: her friends in the literary society have chosen to read a scandalous book that awakens completely indecent sensual desires in the most decent lady! If not for this little book, she would have ignored the courtship of the secular rake Daniel Sutton, Lord Serbrook, who is infinitely far from thoughts of marriage. But it’s not too late to pull yourself together and show the insolent man the door!

However, Daniel doesn’t think so. He first met a woman who awakened the flame of true passion in his cold heart, and is not going to retreat until he achieves his desired goal.
