  <default_description>Handsome, suave, and carnal as the devil, Lord Elliot Rothwell awaits readers in &lt;b&gt;Lessons of Desire,&lt;/b&gt; bestselling author Madeline Hunter&amp;#8217;s latest book in the Rothwell series and her most provocative novel to date. A man used to getting what he wants, Elliot is every woman&amp;#8217;s most secret fantasy in the living flesh.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He first appears beneath her prison window as her savior&amp;#8212;a sinfully attractive man whose charm and connections have ensured her release from an unjust arrest. But author and publisher Phaedra Blair quickly learns that the price of her &amp;#8220;freedom&amp;#8221; is to be virtually bound to her irresistible rescuer. For Elliot Rothman didn&amp;#8217;t come solely on a mission of goodwill. He came to extract a promise that Phaedra won&amp;#8217;t publish a slanderous manuscript that could destroy his family&amp;#8217;s name, and he&amp;#8217;s not above bribery, threats, or bedding her to get his way. And with each erotic encounter raising the stakes between them, Elliot discovers he&amp;#8217;s ever more reluctant to lose this sensual game&amp;#8230;or the one woman who&amp;#8217;s every bit his match.</default_description>
