Clever, popular, and deliciously shocking, the ladies' periodical Mrs. Goode's Magazine for Misses only employs women who are equal to the challenge—and sometimes the challenge includes romance ...
As the daughter of a clergyman, Julia Addison knows she'll never be able to fulfill her lifelong dream of acting on the stage. But writing forthright reviews of the Season's most popular plays for Mrs. Goode's Magazine for Misses, popularly known as Goode's Guide to Misconduct, is surely the next best thing. Even better, she's got a ticket to Ransom Blackadder's latest irritating satire about English society. Best of all, she's sharing a theater box with the gruff but handsome Lord Dunstane, which is enough to make Julia call for an encore ...
Graham McKay, the Earl of Dunstane, rarely leaves his home in the Scottish Highlands. Why would he? Nothing about London has ever held his interest—until he meets Julia. But when Graham realizes she is the critic who panned his last play—and she discovers he is, in fact, the man behind Blackadder's wicked pen will it bring down the curtain on their romance, not to mention the magazine that published the humiliating review? Or can an unexpected collaboration set the stage for a scandalous love affair?
