A Matter of Scandel

Miss Emma Grenville, who is no silly debutante, has had her fill of thick-headed noblemen who believe women exist solely to satisfy men. And her arrogant new landlord, the Duke of Wycliffe, is the worst of the lot! The too attractive cad wants to triple the rent on Emma's finishing school for young ladies to help get his uncle's estate out of debt. Well, Greydon Brakenridge clearly needs educating--about women. And Emma's just the one to enlighten him! The sinfully handsome duke has never met a woman he couldn't outwit and seduce. And now that he's tricked Emma into a wager, he has the stubborn headmistress right where her wants her--and hopefully, soon in his bed. But the confirmed bachelor underestimates the intelligent and surprisingly sensual Miss Grenville. For she may be leading Greydon to a place neither dreamed they'd ever go--to the altar.

  • ""La ordenada vida de Emma Grenville, directora de una reputada academia para señoritas, da un giro de 360 grados cuando Greydon Brankeridge, duque de Wycliffe, aparece por su pequeño pueblo acompanado de su séquito de amigos. Hastiado de las mujeres que sólo lo persiguen por su dinero y posición, Greydon ve con desagrado a la academia de señoritas que hay cerca de su propiedad ya que en su opinión este tipo de academias sólo sirven para crear a pequeñas caza-maridos, por lo que cuando se le presenta la oportunidad no duda en tratar de subirle la renta a la directora de la institución para poder sanear un poco la situación económica de su tío. Emma no puede creerse lo que está pasando. No sólo el duque trata de subirle la renta sino que además insulta a lo más querido para ella: su academia y sus alumnas. Decidida a darle una lección, Emma decide aceptar el trato que le propone el duque: ella debe ser capaz de plantear un plan factible para sanear la economía del tío de Grey mientras que él deberá dar clase de sociedad a cinco jóvenes damas. Empieza así una lucha de voluntades en la que Emma tendrá que echar mano de todo su dominio y autocontrol para no hacer algo totalmente inapropiado como caer bajo el hechizo de un libertino."-- amazon.com"
