He is notorious. Lord Simon Roxbury is a godsend to gossip columnists everywhere. This notorious rake has recently been caught in an extremely compromising position by none other than The London Weekly's Lady of Distinction.

One of the freshest and most exciting voices in the new generation of historical romance writers, the delightful 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. Do you love the charming and captivating romance novels of Elizabeth Boyle, Laura Lee Guhrke, and Suzanne Enoch? Then Seducing Mr. Knightly should be most definitely on your agenda! He's the only man she's ever loved. She's the one woman he's never noticed. Will Dear Annabelle ever find her happy ending? It's the final book in Maya Rodale's fabulous Writing Girls quartet! 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.
