Let Sleeping Rogues Lie (School for Heiresses Series #4) Book

“Don’t let yourself be fooled, Madeline:
once a rake, always a rake.”
—Mrs. Charlotte Harris, headmistress

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. . . .

“Exceptionally entertaining and splendidly sexy.”
—Booklist on Beware a Scot’s Revenge
