Maya Rodale concludes her Writing Girls quartet with Seducing Mr. Knightly. This witty and wonderful Regency romp features a plucky young heroine–the advice columnist Dear Annabelle, writing for The London Weekly–who, following the advice of her own readers, sets out to capture the heart of her handsome employer by any means necessary.

He’s the only man she’s ever loved. She’s the one woman he’s 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.

It’s true Derek Knightly had never really noticed his shy, wallflower of a writer. But suddenly Annabelle is everywhere and he can’t get her out of his mind. And who is this man she’s 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 Marsden’s sister (with a shocking secret in her past) to save his beloved newspaper…or follow his heart and marry his Writing Girl.

They are sworn enemies…

Theodore Prescott the Third, one of Manhattan’s Rogues of Millionaire Row, has really done it this time.

Pretending to be lovers…

Daisy Swann has plans and they do not involve a loveless marriage with anyone. But when a devastating family secret threatens to destroy her standing in society, suddenly a fake engagement with Theo is just the thing to make all her dreams come true.

And now it’s time to kiss and make up…

Daisy Swann aspires to sell cosmetics that she has created, but this brainy scientist needs a smooth talking charmer’s flair for words and eye for beauty to make it a success. Before long, Daisy and Theo are trading kisses. And secrets. And discovering that despite appearances, they might be the perfect couple after all.
