Handsome, suave, and carnal as the devil, Lord Elliot Rothwell awaits readers in Lessons of Desire, bestselling author Madeline Hunter�s latest book in the Rothwell series and her most provocative novel to date. A man used to getting what he wants, Elliot is every woman�s most secret fantasy in the living flesh.He first appears beneath her prison window as her savior�a sinfully attractive man whose charm and connections have ensured her release from an unjust arrest. But author and publisher Phaedra Blair quickly learns that the price of her �freedom� is to be virtually bound to her irresistible rescuer. For Elliot Rothman didn�t come solely on a mission of goodwill. He came to extract a promise that Phaedra won�t publish a slanderous manuscript that could destroy his family�s name, and he�s not above bribery, threats, or bedding her to get his way. And with each erotic encounter raising the stakes between them, Elliot discovers he�s ever more reluctant to lose this sensual game�or the one woman who�s every bit his match.
