Lesson In Seduction
First published 1997 · 188 pages
A playful, banter-filled game of cat-and-mouse where the supposed teacher quickly becomes the breathless student.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like sipping a sparkling cocktail while watching a high-stakes game of emotional chess. The narrative moves at a brisk, breezy clip, driven almost entirely by the crackling, teasing banter between a glamorous heroine who thinks she holds all the cards and a deceptively quiet hero who is secretly running the board. It is steeped in the heightened, slightly melodramatic atmosphere of classic category romance, where every glance is loaded and every conversation is a thinly veiled negotiation of desire. The prose is snappy and unapologetically focused on the sizzling chemistry between the leads. It will thoroughly delight readers who crave the delicious tension of the tables being turned, offering a lighthearted yet intensely passionate escape into a world of performative identities and irresistible attraction.

About the book
They met at the airport. He wore a suit and carried a briefcase. He seemed quiet, a little shy. Definitely not the type to flirt with a fellow passenger—even if she was famous actress Rosalind Marlow!
His name, Roz discovered, was Luke James. She was determined to discover more about him...such as why he appeared to be following her. And was he as innocent as he seemed? What he really needed was a lesson in flirtation—and, on impulse, Roz decided to be his teacher! Luke was a fast learner. In fact, Roz soon discovered that he didn't need lessons at all. He could teach her plenty about the art of seduction!
