About this book

A virgin's progress amid orgy and seduction. When attractive little Jenny Bunn comes south to teach, she falls in with Patrick Standish, a schoolmaster, and all the rakes and rogues of a provincial "Hell Fire Club".

Who this is for

AI · Sample

A propulsive thriller that trades depth for forward motion. The voice is direct, the chapters are short, and most readers blow through it in two sittings. If you're between heavier books and want a clean reset, this fits.
