He could offer her only one thing - a week of intimate pleasure...
Samuel Lennox and Miss Alexandra Ionides cordially invite you to a most provocative game of seduction
It shall last for seven days, during which Lennox, Viscount Ranelagh, will wield his celebrated prowess with the London ladies in an attempt to add Miss Alex's name to his list of conquests. The infamous list is long, though the duration of each liaison has been brief - and as the viscount will assure anyone, that is precisely how he likes it.
The lady, for her part, an accomplished artist and benefactress of various charities, has no wish to be a mere plaything. Although a week of intimate pleasure with a man of Ranelagh's legendary skills would be memorable...
As for the other players - irate parents, designing debutantes, a scheming ex-mistress, even a love-struck young man with ideals - all seem intent on meddling. But the viscount is single-minded when it comes to seduction, and Miss Alex is in his sights.
