Lady Joanna Mabry has many flaws. One is her penchant
for stealing books from her peers’ homes. Since she returns them, usually to
the same house, she feels it’s a harmless flaw until she’s almost caught by
James Huntington, the Duke of Northwick. His outspoken views on a proper
woman’s education have left her bristling. So in this case, she’s pleased to
have taken his book on what is sure to be an antiquated view of the female sex.
James dismisses Lady Joanna’s odd behavior until he
discovers his book on “feminine education” is missing. Guessing she has it, he’s
highly amused since the cover concealed the real title, The Illustrated Pleasures
of Seduction. He soon finds himself putting off his proposal to another
woman as he attempts to trap Joanna into revealing her theft. He enjoys countering
her energetic arguments for women’s equal education, while he insinuates what
women should be most concerned with, the bedroom.
Before long, the pictures in Northwick’s book, his
quiet hints, and his tantalizing touches begin to leave Joanna breathless.
Worse, their debates bring her to a state of excitement she’s known with no
other. How can such a closed-minded man, be so tempting? But with a spurned
woman lurking in the background, Joanna must make the decision whether to let
the duke wallow in a bed of his own making, or acknowledge the feelings that
have grown between them…neither of which, she’s willing to do.
