Miss Daisy Merrick cannot hold a job. Daisy's major faults
of outspokenness and lack of tact with her bosses and
coworkers leads her to short employment. After attempting
governess to typist jobs, Daisy walks into a publishing
house determined to find employment using her talent as a
writer. Lady Luck finally smiles on her and she receives an
assignment to critique the famous Sebastian Grant's new
play. She writes a damning review and does not realize the
effect until she comes face-to-face with the author.
Sebastian Grant, the Earl of Avermore, has lost his ability
to write. It has been years since he produced anything and
he needs money desperately. In an attempt to raise funds,
he dusts off a horrible play he wrote years ago. As a slap
in his face, his publisher sends a critic whose disparaging
review closes the play within a week. Sebastian arrives at
his publisher in a fury and comes upon his critic, an
ingénue with a vinegary sharp tongue. The sparks fly and
his publisher can see a way to push his once-famous author.
He hires Daisy to inspire and prod Sebastian to produce his
overdue book.
This is one job Daisy knows she can accomplish. She can
motivate him and while working with Sebastian, she will get
him to mentor her. Years of excess have drained Sebastian
and writer's block has taken hold. He believes he cannot
write anymore. The eternal optimist, Daisy refuses to stop
badgering him until he commits to a writing goal with the
prize of a kiss. Sebastian believes he can distract her
with seduction, but Daisy will teach him about love and
happy endings.
Ms. Guhrke delivers not only another delicious romantic
tale, but she examines the joys and fears that haunt
writers. Daisy's excitement and optimism over her writing
compares to the anguish Sebastian feels at the loss of his
creative power. This book has it all, poignancy, sparkling
dialogue and memorable characters that make this a must-
read.
London Society is harsh for
a young woman with no family connections who has to work
for a living. But when Daisy Merrick is sacked from yet
another job, the feisty and outspoken miss comes up with a
plan that could give her a future beyond her wildest
dreams. There\'s only one problem. Her success depends on a
man, the most infuriating, impossible, immovable man she\'s
ever met. His resolution . . .
Sebastian Grant,
Earl of Avermore, is England\'s most infamous author. Known
for his notorious reputation, he is more interested in
play than work, and has no intention of cooperating when
Daisy shows up on his doorstep with a mad plan. The
provoking, fire-haired beauty stirs his senses beyond
belief, and Sebastian knows he has only one way to stop
her. Seduction.
