The request was impossible. Unthinkable. And unavoidable. Ariel Halliday couldn't refuse the head of Penrose School when he asked her to take on a particularly difficult assignment --- not if she wanted to remain in his good graces. But nothing in her experience had prepared the schoolmistress for the darkly handsome "pupil" who greeted her, wearing only tight-fitting breeches that announced he was very much a grown-up male, and an air of threatening silence. Black-haired, golden-eyed Leon Duvanne was the heir apparent of the Marquis of Sage. Yet, raised under the burning sun of a distant Pacific island, he looked more ready to feast on the
ton than with them. Now Ariel has only eight weeks to transform this savage into a gentleman. It will take a miracle ... or maybe just falling in love.
