The lesson du jour at Ironwood, an exclusive girls' boarding school, is sexual fulfillment and strict but stimulating discipline. This third volume of the Ironwood trilogy presents arousing scenes of unrelenting sensuality, erotic longing, and occasionally, of those bizarre proclivities that touch the fringes of human sexuality. A bevy of lusty students learn the ways of love from James, the school director, and Cora Blasingdale, the mistress of discipline.
