Eleanor Palmer is relieved when her fiancé cries off the marry another woman but horrified when he suggests the dissolute Marquess of Grenville as a replacement. Eleanor may claim descent from the lusty
King Charles II, but this proper English lady has no interest in the pleasures of the flesh. She'd rather read the Classics.

Nathaniel St. Clair is infamous for his wicked ways--drinking, gambling, and fornicating--but he's willing to give up all but one of his vices to initiate the lovely Miss Palmer into the joys of lust. Maybe a little dirty Latin poetry will aid his cause.

NOTE: This novella was originally published under the same title in 2007 by Cobblestone Press and then again in 2009 by Kensington Books in the anthology Behind the Red Door.
