WITH SEDUCTION IN MIND - 4 Stars, RT Book Reviews: "With her trademark sense of humor, lively pace and smart, sassy characters, Guhrke pens a sparkling battle of wills between a thoroughly modern miss and cantankerous writer with a dark past. Readers will enjoy their verbal sparring as much as their passion in the fourth of the girl bachelor books."
USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, Laura Lee Guhrke is the ultimate Heroine. By turns, a journalist, an advertising executive, a caterer, and construction entrepreneur, Laura has chased her dreams with passion her entire life. And she’s bringing her take-charge attitude to all her Girl Bachelors, including Daisy Merrick in With Seduction in Mind.
Daisy Merrick can’t keep a job. And her confident, optimistic outlook on life is sorely put to the test when she loses her third post in six months, but she’s sure she can find a position that suits her carefree personality. Especially without the help of her sister’s employment agency. Maybe even one that will let her write her own novel, instead of typing the poppycock that her last job forced her to do. That’s why she’s so excited when she finds work as a theatre critic. Finally a job that puts her creativity to work! Except that her first review – of the latest play by a popular novelist and playwright – proves especially disastrous when she is confronted by the very angry author himself…
Sebastian Grant, Earl of Avermore, is not happy. This was supposed to be his comeback, a chance to pay off his debts and refill his coffers. How dare this...this critic call his work a piece of drivel! Never mind that he agrees with her completely. And to make matters worse, just as he’s lost his passion to write, his publisher is after him to finish his novel; so desperate, in fact, that Marlowe has assigned Sebastian a writing partner – Daisy!
Enemies at first sight, this battle of wits between the two writers quickly turns to desire. But will the temptations of Sebastian’s dark past haunt them? Or can Daisy dispel the darkness from his soul and finally teach Sebastian how to write a happy ending?
Heralded by the Romantic Times as “one of the most natural voices in historical romance to be found today,” the intrepid Laura Lee Guhrke – businesswoman, journalist, and all-around explorer extraordinaire – continues to create the ultimate Girl Bachelor in WITH SEDUCTION IN MIND. Says executive editor Erika Tsang, “I always look forward to her manuscript hitting my desk…full of wit, charm and chemistry, this is Laura Lee Guhrke at her very best!”
Laura Lee Guhrke spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing novels was more fun.
