title: Ruined by a Rake: An All's Fair in Love Novella (Volume 1)
author:  Erin Knightley 
description: Despite being an avid reader and closet writer her whole life, Erin decided to pursue a sensible career in science. It was only after earning her B.S. and working in the field for years that she realized doing the sensible thing wasn't any fun at all. Following her dreams, Erin left her practical side behind and now spends her days writing, her mind happily in the Regency period as she types away on her very modern laptop. Now an award-winning and USA Today Bestselling author, she's living her own Happily Ever After in North Carolina with her tall, dark, and handsome husband and their three ridiculously spoiled mutts.<br />For more about her books -- or to see a picture of her wrapped in Mr. Darcy, er, Colin Firth's arms -- visit ErinKnightley.com
