|---|
"Rosalind Howard just broke up with her insensitive boyfriend and need a new job. She is hired by a reclusive millionaire to catalogue his library, but she has to live at his estate. Julian Hadey, the millionaire, and his wife, Celeste, are a striking hedonistic couple with an extensive collection of erotica in the library. Soon after arriving, Rosie learns what they also want her to do is tutor their shy nephew, David, in the art of lovemaking.
Rosie is not very sexually experienced and does not think she is attractive, but her employer helps her to discover her own sexuality as she observes the erotic play between Julian and Celeste and the staff on the estate. She is seduced by Julian, and experiments with sensual play with Julien's female masseuse and his male trainer. As her sexual experiences expand, she warms up to her task to tutor David, who turns out to be a willing and passionate pupil. When Rosie's old boyfriend comes looking for her, she discovers that she has found a new self confidence she did not have before."
