Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries
comes the fourth book in her dazzling and sensual School
for Heiresses series -- the story of a charmingly handsome rake who challenges
everything a young teacher thinks she
knows about passion and desire.


"Don't let yourself be fooled, Madeline:
once a rake, always a rake."
-- Mrs. Charlotte Harris, headmistress

When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father's reputation. Instead, she's in danger of ruining her own. The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide "rake lessons" to Mrs. Harris's pupils so they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled -- until she's swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake -- even one who's trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting....

With more than nine million books in print in twenty languages, the North Carolina author never regrets tossing aside a budding career in academics for the sheer joy of writing fun fiction and hopes that one day a book of hers will end up saving the world. She always dreams big.

Reviews

After her father’s career as a physician is destroyed, Madeline Prescott takes a position teaching math and science at Mrs. Harris’ School for Young Ladies. Madeline’s small salary is some help, but what she really needs is a way to contact noted chemist Sir Humphrey Davy, whose pioneering work with nitrous oxide might help restore her father’s reputation. When Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, turns up at the academy seeking a favor, Madeline sees the solution to her problem. In exchange for overseeing Anthony’s “rakehell lessons” at the academy, Madeline coerces him into taking her to a nitrous-oxide party. Madeline is convinced that working with Anthony will simply be a matter of science until she discovers there is nothing scientific about desire. Sizzling sexual chemistry and an intriguing, science-tinged plot make Jeffries’ latest School for Heiresses title especially intriguing. --John Charles
