SUMMARY

Nine months ago, Miss Rose Sweetly started a friendly correspondence with Britain’s most infamous advice columnist, Mr. Stephen Shaughnessy. But a virtuous young lady cannot write to a known rake without risking her reputation. That's why she's signed all her letters as β€œAldus Grange”—a man who claims to be everything Rose is not: old, male, and white. Three months ago, Stephen Shaughnessy moved into the house next door. In person, he’s wickedly funny, devilishly flirtatious, and heart-stoppingly handsomeβ€”exactly the sort of man that earnest, mathematically-minded Rose should avoid. But as she’s struggling to cut all ties, he writes to β€œAldus” for advice…on how to seduce the girl next door. Rose knows she should walk awayβ€”but she can’t let this brazen insult pass. Instead, she vows to bring Mr. Shaughnessy to his knees…any way she can.
