The Duke’s Lessons in Temptation

Lady Cora Stanton has waited years for her friend and neighbor, Lord Bellamy, to return from his travels abroad. She has secretly loved him from afar and believes they are the perfect match. When he finally returns, she struggles to spend time with him, as he is overwhelmed by the interest of other ladies on the marriage mart. Cora decides she must do something bold. She requests that family friend and notorious rogue, the Duke of Blythe, teach her how to tempt a lord. According to London gossip, he is an expert in such things.

Damion, the Duke of Blythe, can’t believe that Cora wants him to instruct her about the art of seduction, especially for some boyish lord who isn’t worthy of her. Still, Damion has endured the heartbreak of loving someone who never cared for him in return. He doesn’t want that for Cora and agrees to help her, but insists to himself that it is only to show her what she should be looking for.

As the lessons in temptation progress, something simmers between them that neither expected. Will Cora and Damion discover they are each other’s perfect match?
