Total Surrender

With the last of her family possessions gambled away by her dissolute brother, Lady Sarah Compton has traveled to a country house gala for one last moment of grace and beauty. But she is unaware that the occasion is actually a notorious trysting event, where members of the aristocracy can indulge in their every sensual fantasy and erotic whim. Nor does she realize that the striking man who has stolen into her bedroom is none other than Michael Stevens--a rake who gives and takes his pleasures boldly...

The bastard son of an earl, Michael Stevens relishes his reputation as London's most notorious seducer. But he has no idea what to make of the auburn-haired beauty he's nearly mistaken for new conquest or how such an innocent could possibly have been invited to a gather where London's bored elite caters to each other's carnal desires. When the lady refuses to heed Michael's warning--to leave the house for her own protection--a powerful attraction grows, and soon, he longs to tutor the very proper Lady Sarah Compton in the art of passion...
