Welcome to book one in the new series The School for Spinsters by award winning author Michelle Willingham.
Violet Edwards is painfully shy with a terrible stutter. Despite her mother's threats to send her away, she has plans of her own to win a husband. She enrolls herself in the infamous School for Spinsters, where she hopes to be transformed from a wallflower into a breathtaking debutante.
The only problem is that the headmistress hired a gorgeous, notorious rake to give her lessons.
To the rest of the London ton, Damian Everett, the Earl of Scarsdale, is a charming gentleman seeking a wife. But his father's mountain of debts have left him with no choice but to wed an heiress. When he's offered a generous stipend to help a shy wallflower, he can't refuse. All he has to do is provoke Violet Edwards into finding her backbone.
As their lessons turn sensual, Damian is captivated by Violet . . . and he's falling hard. But how can he turn his back on his family for the wallflower he wants to love?
Contains mature themes.
