After years spent in the glittering ballrooms of the ton, Amanda Cynster is utterly bored by the current crop of colorless suitors.  One night, determined to take matters into her own hands, she shockingly goes where no respectable lady ever should, but where many an intriguing gentleman might be found.  Quite suddenly out of her depth, a panicked Amanda looks for help, and is unexpectedly rescued by Martin Fulbridge, the Earl of Dexter.  Lean, powerful, and mysterious, the epitome of the boldly passionate gentleman Amanda has been searching for, Martin has delayed re-entering society, preferring instead a more interesting existence on its fringes.  And his sensuous touch makes it eminently clear that he would be happy to educate her in the art of love.  Now Amanda has to wonder: Can such a masterful rake be sufficiently tamed in the ways of marriage?
