Daisy Merrick's great ambition in life is to be a writer. Unfortunately she must eat and have a roof over her head while she is waiting to be published. Even more unfortunately she keeps getting sacked from her jobs.
One day she finds the courage to visit a publisher and ask him if he will print her work. He says her work is not ready yet, but he has an author who is no longer producing. He assigns Daisy to work as the great Sebastian Grant, Earl of Avermore's editor.
Little does Daisy know that the Earl is recovering from a ten year cocaine habit that had almost killed him and now has a case of writers block that is killing him or likely to drive him back to the drug.
Ms. Guhrke writes about adult characters, in adult settings, facing adult problems. This is her special niche that she has carved out for herself in the historical market. Others may attempt to transpose modern problems into an historical setting, but no one can do it as well as Laura Lee.
This book easily rates:
Yours forever between the covers of a book,
Lady Mischief
