Nicole Jordan takes the delights of the Regency mating game to
breathless new heights in this daring second novel of a superb new
trilogy, The Courtship Wars.
Clever and charming Roslyn Loring, the middle child of three beautiful,
independent sisters, knows that true happiness lies in a marriage of the
heart-and she has hers set on a love-match with a neighboring earl. Yet
her sharp mind has observed an undeniable truth: Gentlemen lavish
passion on their mistresses, not their wives. Roslyn realizes that to
win her future husband's devotion, she must learn the secrets of
kindling a gentleman's ardor. Fortunately, she finds a willing tutor in
Drew Moncrief, the Duke of Arden, a notorious rake whispered to be
London's most magnificent lover. If his searing kisses are any
indication, the duke is the ideal man to teach Roslyn how to be the
perfect mistress.
Drew begins schooling Roslyn while coolly guarding his heart. But as
best-laid plans are thwarted by unexpected events-including a night of
unforgettable passion-Roslyn and her wickedly arousing tutor discover
how easily lessons in pleasure can become lessons in love. . . .
