A sedate existence perhaps, but certainly preferable to her current state—jilted, humiliated, and then hastily bartered off to a man old enough to be her grandfather. Dreading the marriage, Caroline seeks advice from her ex-fiancé's illegitimate brother, whose potent sexuality has always intrigued her… Ian Clayton can scarcely believe that the woman he's coveted from afar is boldly seeking sexual instruction.
