"Serving as the advice columnist, 'Miss Busy B.', for an often-subversive ladies' magazine is the perfect outlet for Daphne Burke's outspoken nature. But when she advises a young lady of the ton, to break off her engagement to a notorious rake, the consequences take Daphne beyond the page and into her real life. Miles, Viscount Deveraux, sometimes known as 'that devil Deveraux', needs a respectable bride by the end of the Season, and he's bet a fortune that he can get one. Now, his fianéce has not only changed her mind--but done it publicly, in a letter to London's most infamous magazine. With the stakes high and time short, it seems reasonable to him that the columnist responsible should come to his rescue and marry him instead. Fortunately for Miles, Daphne is eager to escape the pressures of the London marriage mart. She agrees to a courtship. But at the end of two weeks, she intends to turn him down in a big, splashy, scandal that will ruin her reputation and set her free. There's just one shocking wrinkle: Who knew being ruined by a rake could be so much fun?" -- Back cover

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?
