With Seduction in Mind

A scathing review. A desperate earl. An outrageous bargain of kisses that turns rival writers into passionate partners.

The Girl-Bachelors are back in With Seduction in Mind, a Victorian England version of 10 Things I Hate About You by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lee Guhrke.

Here, the author pairs an outspoken typist with an arrogant, blocked playwright whose latest comedy was shredded by her anonymous review. The story sends this spirited critic to his estate, forcing two stubborn rivals into close quarters.

Devonshire provides the country setting where a daring bargain of kisses turns exasperation into irresistible passion. The novel charts their clashes from the library to the maze, where bruised pride gives way to genuine surrender.

Guhrke, the author of Secret Desires of a Gentleman and The Wicked Ways of a Duke, offers a fun, sexy, and emotional tale of a young woman who finds her fairy-tale love.
