I worried a bit about this before I started reading because of the "sex story" angle but it was very well done and seemed credible even for the time.The heroine`s life is truly sad, living off charity and expected to marry a man she can`t imagine herself living with. To make some money so she can buy a boarding house, she writes raunchy stories which she sells. She`s inspired by a diary she finds and the story behind that diary is interesting enough for a book in itself.Her identity as the "sex novelist" is almost revealed by the hero of the story who`s been tricked into promising he would find the author behind the stories and she is writing against the clock, trying to finish the last chapter and selling it before she is thrown out of the house she lives in.It`s a new and very interesting storyline and though it suffered a bit here and there from too many lose threads, it`s a good book and a very nice romance.
