The Lady Knows Best

About the book

In her print debut, award-winning author Susanna Craig introduces a new Regency historical romance series, centered around the bold ladies’ magazine Mrs. Goode’s Magazine for Misses, which is also known as Goode’s Guide to Misconduct. The series follows the witty and rebellious heroines behind the magazine, including a controversial advice columnist. With a modern twist on the genre, this series will resonate with fans of Ella Quinn, Sabrina Jeffries, and those who enjoy fast-paced historical romances featuring strong women.

As the advice columnist, 'Miss Busy B.', for a daring ladies’ magazine, Daphne Burke finds an outlet for her outspoken nature. However, when she advises a young lady to end her engagement to a known rake, the consequences spill over into her own life.

Viscount Deveraux, also known as “that devil Deveraux,” is in need of a respectable bride before the Season ends. When his fiancée publicly changes her mind, he sees an opportunity for the columnist responsible to step in and marry him instead.

Daphne, wanting to escape the pressures of the marriage market in London, agrees to a courtship with Miles. However, she plans to reject him in a scandalous manner after two weeks. But as they spend time together, Daphne discovers that being ruined by a rake might just be enjoyable.
