A scandal ensues in which Marisa's beloved beau deserts her. As a compromised woman Marisa agrees to marry Maitland. But on her wedding night Marisa discovers the one place the duke shows emotion: in the bedroom where the man positively scorches the sheets.<br> <br>Taught from a young age to take duty seriously Maitland cannot understand his new wife's demands on his love and affection. Marisa's hot-blooded spirit however does have its attractions-especially at night. In retrospect it seems quite silly that he didn't marry sooner. But being one of the Libertine Scholars requires constant vigilance even more so when the enemy with a grudge against his closest friends targets Marisa. Now Maitland must save the woman who sets his heart aflame-or die trying.</p>
