Plot Summary of The Lady's Tutor
"Elizabeth's husband has not been to her bed in twelve years, and in an effort to lure him back, she enlists the services of Ramiel, a world renound sex fiend to teach her how to be desirable. Soon the only thing that Elizabeth is studying is how longer she can last Ramiel's charm and sexual appeal, while still trying to remain faithful to her husband- the Prime Minister of England. With scintillating conversation and hot love scenes, the Lady's Tutor is an all out erotic romp through Victorian England."
Meredith Griffin, Resident Scholar

"Elizabeth was married young to a man picked by her father. She has borne him two sons & endured sixteen years of the loveless & passionless marriage. She hasn't been intimate with her husband since he got her pregnant with her youngest son, who is now twelve. All he seems concerned with is his political career. But she is determined she is going to seduce her husband & she only knows of one man who can teach her what she needs to know in order to do that. The bastard son of an English countess & an Arab sheik, Ramiel is a strange mixture of east & west. He agrees to tutor the Lady in the ways of love, with the understanding that he will not touch her, only TELL her what she needs to know. The temptation soon becomes too great."
Kim Mills, Resident Scholar

"Elizabeth Petre is the perfect Victorian lady, married to a man hand-picked by her cold, political family. She's given her husband two sons and endured sixteen years of selfless duty. Beneath the veneer, however, she is a passionate woman craving a man's touch, but her husband has not come to her marriage bed in over twelve years. When gossip returns to her that her husband has a mistress, Elizabeth sets out to seduce her husband.

Even after sixteen years of marriage, Elizabeth is painfully inexperienced; never even been kissed by her aloof husband. If she is to seduce him she much first have a seductive education and there is only one man that can teach her. Ramiel Devington is the illegitimate son of an English countess and an Arab sheik. Raised in both worlds but fitting neither one, Ramiel is used to English women propositioning him.

Except Elizabeth does not want him to pleasure her, she wants to learn to pleasure a man. Intrigued by the woman Ramiel sets out to instruct her in the arts of sensual delights. All too soon the lessons become a temptation that neither can resist. He gives her the opportunity to have a man who truly desires her and she has the ability to accept him for who and what he is.

When Elizabeth begins to show signs of rebellion against her controlling husband and parents, her life seems to be in jeopardy. Ramiel knows that he would do anything to have Elizabeth and his desire to keep her safe causes turbulence in his own household. Elizabeth must decide between passion and love or society correctness and family obligation."
