To Bed a Beauty
by Nicole Jordan
Harboring a secret passion for a neighboring earl, a charming beauty asks a cynical duke for lessons in how to kindle a gentleman's ardor---not realizing she's opening her heart to unexpected love with her arousing tutor.
Clever and charming Roslyn Loring, the middle of three beautiful, independent sisters, knows true happiness lies in a marriage of the heart---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 events---a night of unforgettable passion and a hurried betrothal---Roslyn and her wickedly arousing tutor discover how easily lessons in pleasure can become lessons in love....
