Beautiful, intelligent and talented, yet entirely naïve to the ways of the world, young Anna-Leigh¿s curiosity begs finishing. Newly arrived at New England¿s most exclusive finishing school, the headmistress appoints Édouard Henri (Paul) Avril as Anna-Leigh¿s private tutor. She instructs the handsome artist to polish Anna-Leigh¿s artistic talents, yet her real goal is to educate her new student in everything the achingly innocent young girl should know about the masculine sex. A classic and lively romance lavishly set in the opulent Victorian period, The Finisher is an exuberant and richly embroidered celebration of youth, beauty, natural curiosity, and softly sensual erotic discovery.
