Clarissa

Sean Bean plays Lovelace, a handsome rake determined to seduce--and thus destroy--the beautiful young virgin Clarissa Harlowe (Saskia Wickham), a wealthy heiress famed for her virtue. As Clarissa is forced by her scheming family into the predatory Lovelace's arms, it seems certain that he will succeed. But Lovelace has failed to reckon with both Clarissa's strength of character and his one fatal weakness: his own heart. For the first time in his life, he becomes genuinely infatuated with his prey--a failing that drives him to new heights of decadence and sows the seeds of his own destruction.
