Plot Summary of Seduction By Design
"Hailey Ashton is not easily persuaded that she is beautiful and smart. She has taken the back seat to her sister. Hailey's new boss, Tyler Scott, is handsome, rich and is trying to raise his daughter on his own. He also thinks Hailey is beautiful and tries to convince her of the same. Tyler's daughter likes Hailey and enjoys spending time with her. Tyler uses this to his advantage to get closer to Hailey. She starts to come around to his advances when her sister pops into town. Hailey walks in on her sister trying to cosy up to Tyler and naturally assumes he is going out with her. Tyler's daughter hears the arguing and runs away. While looking for her Hailey realizes that Tyler's feelings for her are true."
Sherrie L Jones, Resident Scholar
