After her father loses his job, Madeline Prescott must take a mathematics teaching position at Mrs. Harris's School for Young Ladies. This will bring in enough money to keep them afloat until she can contact Sir Humphry Davey to help clear her father's name. Anthony Dalton, Viscount Norcourt, is trying to gain custody of his niece. He needs to get her away from his evil Aunt and Uncle and believes enrolling her in Mrs. Harris's school is the key. His reputation as a rake is well known. He wants to show that he can change is ways in order to take care of Tessa. Madeline comes up with a plan that could both help her father and let Tessa attend the school. If Anthony will give the girls "Rake Lessons", she will support Tessa's application to the school and he can introduce her to Sir Humphry.

This is a cute story. Anthony and Madeline were both interesting characters that you couldn't help rooting for. The story suffers from the hero and heroine keeping too many secrets from each other. There were several misunderstandings in this book, but at least they were resolved quickly. My rating: 4 Stars.
