He had a reputation as a rake with a rumored dark side. She should’ve run but instead, it was that, which intrigued and unleashed the wanton in her.

James Madison took but a second to agree to request of the innocent looking beauty for private poetry lessons. Only the lessons he had in mind involved . . . his dungeon, ropes and whips. Was Katherine ready for what he had in store for her?
