Can she convince the duke a woman has a brain?Lady Joanna Mabry has many flaws, one is her penchant for stealing books from her peers' homes.

His outspoken views on a proper woman's education have left her bristling. So in this case, she's pleased to have taken his book on what is sure to be an antiquated view of the female species.James dismisses Lady Joanna's odd behavior until he discovers his book on "feminine education" is missing. Guessing she has it, he's highly amused since the cover concealed the real title, The Illustrated Pleasures of Seduction.

He enjoys countering her energetic arguments for women's equal education, while he insinuates that what women should be most concerned with is the bedroom.Before long, the pictures in Northwick's book, his quiet hints, and his tantalizing touches begin to leave Joanna breathless.

How can such a closed-minded man be so tempting?But with a spurned woman lurking in the background, Joanna must make the decision whether to let the duke wallow in a bed of his own making, or acknowledge the feelings that have grown between them...neither of which she's willing to do.Marrying a MabryStealing the DukePainting the EarlRevealing the Viscount
