THE LADY KNOWS BEST

Susanna Craig

First in a new series!

The women behind the popular, controversial new periodical Mrs. Goode’s Magazine for Misses are daring, witty, clever, and wise, just like their publication . . .

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 to call off her engagement to a notorious rake, Daphne soon finds herself with more than she bargained for.

Miles, Viscount Deveraux needs a respectable bride by the end of the Season, and his fiancée has not only changed her mind—but done it publicly, in a letter to the magazine. With the stakes high and time short, it seems perfectly 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? Will Daphne take her own advice—or will she dare to admit that there’s more to this man than she expected? . . .
