So Mocking, My Love — W.E.D. Ross

In this rollicking comedy-romance, as up-to-date as tomorrow's headlines, humorous characters abound, and there are a suitably appealing hero and heroine. Horace Winslow's daughter is determined to protect the good name of her lately deceased author-father. When a young man rents her home to use it as a base while he writes a racy, gossipy account of her father's life she manages to conceal her identity from him and give him a very bad time. But when she finds herself falling in love with the man she is determined to hate, she sets out to reform him, and make him write the sort of good, clean books her father specialized in, with disastrous results. At the same time her own romance with the town's lawyer is threatened and a female literary agent swoops down on the young writer to lead him astray again. But beneath this merry mix-up there is a sound romance which helps the hero and heroine overcome all the problems they have to face.
