Let Sleeping Rogues Lie (Volume 4) - Couverture souple

The fourth book in the charming and sensual School for Heiresses series by New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries tells the story of an alluringly handsome rake who challenges everything a young teacher thinks she knows about passion and desire.

When Madeline Prescott took a teaching position at Mrs. Harris’s School for Young Ladies, it was to help restore her father’s reputation. Instead, she’s in danger of ruining her own.

The devilishly handsome Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, has agreed to provide “rake lessons” to Mrs. Harris’s pupils so that they can learn how to avoid unscrupulous gentlemen, and Madeline is to oversee his classes. She has always believed that attraction is a scientific matter, easily classified and controlled—until she’s swept into the passionate desire that fiercely burns between her and Anthony. Nothing could be more illogical than risking everything for a dalliance with a rake, even one who’s trying to behave himself. Yet nothing could be more tempting...

When the licentious Anthony Dalton inherits the care of his thirteen-year old niece and the family estate upon the death of his older brother and sister-in-law, he must forsake his wild ways - especially once his wicked aunt and uncle apply for custody of the young girl.
To prove to the Chancery Court that he is a respectable guardian, Anthony wants to enrol Jocelyn into the prestigious Charlotte Harris School for Young Ladies. Mrs Harris is reluctant to let the former rakehell's niece attend her fine school, until teacher Madeline Prescott convinces her that Anthony could be an asset, giving the heiresses lessons on how to recognize the devious techniques of rakes and rogues.
Madeline has an ulterior motive for helping Anthony, but as they spend more time together, passion grows between them. Will their steamy affair withstand the obstacles to true love?
