Lessons in Sin

Miss Clementina Smythe, the newest graduate of Miss Debenham's Finishing School, is worried. Though charming, well-spoken, and quite attractive, her obvious innocence may impede her current campaign to secure a groom—one wealthy enough to save her family from debtor's prison. In desperation, she turns to the rakish Richard Eversham, an expert at seduction who can teach Tina how to be everything any man could possibly want.

Richard's motives, however, are far from selfless. He finds the delightful Miss Smythe not only perfectly desirable, but perfectly suited to help him in his plan to entrap the man who killed his brother. But as the game turns more dangerous, Richard realizes the stakes may be higher than he imagined . . . for they include his life, Tina's safety, and their blossoming, undeniable passion.
