Synopsis:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey brings the ninth novel following the aristocratic Malory family—a passionate, witty, and high-spirited tale that provides startling new information about a prominent member of the family.

After her mother died, vivacious Katey Tyler fled her dull Connecticut town, hoping to meet her relatives in England and find adventure and romance on a grand tour of Europe. She had no idea that her life-changing travels would have both in spades—as well as danger and intrigue—when she catches the eye of ship owner Boyd Anderson and inadvertently stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping.

When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is abducted from London's Hyde Park, her kidnapper mistakenly sends the ransom note to the home of Sir Anthony's brother, James. With James and his wife, Georgina, in the Caribbean, the demands are received by their houseguest—Georgina's youngest brother, Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, the notoriously hot-headed American sea captain fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot!

Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson—and in meeting up with the Malorys—she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour, and her life will never be dull again. A multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her mother's early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him—but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her.

With the delightful humor, lovable characters, and tempestuous passions that have placed Johanna Lindsey's eight previous Malory novels among the best-loved and most widely read romantic novels of our time, No Choice But Seduction sweeps readers away on an irresistible adventure that is as bold and charming as the heroine at its heart.

About the Author:

Johanna Lindsey (1952–2019) was world-renowned for her “mastery of historical romance” (Entertainment Weekly), with more than sixty million copies of her novels sold. She was the author of nearly sixty nationally bestselling novels, many of which reached the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. 

Johanna Helen Howard was born on March 10, 1952, in Frankfurt, where her father, Edwin, was stationed in the Army. Her family moved to the United States when she was about 5. Her mother was Wanda (Castle) Howard. The family eventually settled in Hawaii, where Johanna attended intermediate school and high school.

She started work in a data processing program but left it when she married Ralph Lindsey. By the mid-1970s, believing she could write romance novels, she sent a proposed chapter to Avon Books, which also published the work of Ms. Rodgers and Ms. Woodiwiss.

“Three weeks later they asked for the whole book, and six weeks after that they accepted it with only one change,” Ms. Lindsey told The Honolulu Star-Bulletin in 1981.

In 1977, Avon published the book, “Captive Bride.” She followed it over the next four years with “A Pirate’s Love,” “Brave the Wild Wind,” “Fires of Winter” and “Paradise Wild.”

“I don’t know what I’d be doing if I didn’t have my writing,” she told The Star-Bulletin. “I haven’t even had a vacation in a long time. It’s been 17 years since I’ve been out of Hawaii.”

With more than 56 million copies of her books in print, and translated into twelve languages, Johanna Lindsey is one of the world's most popular authors of romance. She has written over thirty novels, each one has been a bestseller, with several New York Times number ones.

Johanna Lindsey passed away in 2019.
