Back cover description:
When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father's reputation. Instead, she's in danger of ruining her own. The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide "rake lessons" to Mrs. Harris's pupils so they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled - until she's swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake - even one who's trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting...

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES: Postal release to a fellow bookmoocher in Crete, Greece.
Truly funny and unconventional. I loved the hero's sensitivity and vulnerability even though he's considered, and is, a rake.What rather chaffed was the too martyr kind plot and both the protagonists' reasons for seducing each other. But Jeffies didn't let it become a cliche and just like the rest of the plot and their characters, so too the daddy-needs-help and I'm-a-worhtless-scum litany come crashing down and both Anthony and Madeline prove strong to hold their own in romance novel land. Well done Mrs Jeffries...
