""With wonderfully drawn characters, intrigue, and tantalizing passion, Rodale is certain to delight readers and keep them waiting, with baited breath, for more."" âPublishers Weekly
Maya Rodale concludes her Writing Girls quartet with Seducing Mr. Knightly. This witty and wonderful Regency romp features a plucky young heroineâthe advice columnist Dear Annabelle, writing for The London Weeklyâwho, following the advice of her own readers, sets out to capture the heart of her handsome employer by any means necessary.
Heâs the only man sheâs ever loved. Sheâs the one woman heâs never noticed.
Advice columnist Annabelle Swift has loved The London Weekly editor-owner Derek Knightly silently, from a distance, for quite some time now. Finally resolved to attract his attention, she requests advice from her loyal readers--and then puts it to the test. She tries everything from lower cut bodices (success!) and sultry gazes (disaster!) to a surprise midnight rendezvous (wicked!). Her column detailing these misadventures is a huge success.
Itâs true Derek Knightly had never really noticed his shy, wallflower of a writer. But suddenly Annabelle is everywhere and he canât get her out of his mind. And who is this man sheâs after, anyway? Is it fellow Weekly reporter, Damien Owens? Or Lord Marsden--who happens to be leading a Parliamentary Inquiry into newspaper practices following shocking revelations at a rival paper. As the true details of the scandal emerge, Knightly is faced with a wretched choice: marry Lord Marsdenâs sister (with a shocking secret in her past) to save his beloved newspaper...or follow his heart and marry his Writing Girl.
