The Duke's Lessons for Ruined Ladies

The Duke's Lessons for Ruined Ladies
A wickedly witty and indecently delicious Regency romance for readers who like their dukes dominant, their heroines ruined, and their morals thoroughly undone.

Arabella Fletcher has committed the cardinal sin of the ton: she's lost her virtue, and worse, she did it without so much as an orgasm to show for it. Disgraced, dispatched, and demoted from polite society, she's bundled off to Belgrave House, a "reform institute" for wayward young women. The embroidery is tedious, the hymns intolerable, and the Duke who runs the place? Utterly inappropriate.

His Grace, Julian Abbot, Duke of Belgrave, believes in education. And he has a curriculum tailored for the clever, curious, and utterly unrepentant Arabella — one that promises to teach her how to reclaim power through pleasure, ruin through refinement, and mastery through surrender.

But Arabella has no intention of being an obedient student. Not even for a man who makes her blood hum. She's determined to turn the tables on her so-called instructor.

What follows is an intensely sensual and emotionally charged battle of wits and wickedness. Here, Regency scandal, dominant dukes, submissive socialites, and forbidden education converge into a story thick with sensual tension, emotional intimacy, and shamelessly spicy scenes.

Arabella will learn to flirt with a glance, seduce with a whisper, and devastate with a single touch. But what begins as a lesson in control soon becomes a heady unraveling of pride, desire, and the ache of being truly seen. And Julian, for all his discipline and decorum, may not be the one doing the teaching for long.
