Once renowned for training frigid wives and shy mistresses in the art of lovemaking, Thomas Collins has been approached by the Duke of Wallingford to train his fiancée. The Duke has but one request-Thomas is to save the maidenhead for him.

Much to an unwitting Catherine's surprise, she finds herself blindfolded and bound to a bed, bound by a stranger she knows only by touch…

But when Thomas sets out to train Catherine to respond to anything and everything the sadistic Duke might have in store for her, he discovers he must employ every ounce of restraint he possesses to keep from bedding the lovely captive who has stolen his heart.
