Washington City, 1814. Ella Rutherford secretly writes political editorials under her father’s name, determined to shape the world from behind the press.

What’s this?

In Washington, 1814, Ella Rutherford grew up amid the noise of the printing press and the uproar of congressional halls as the secret protégé of her father. Skirting society’s demands, she authors editorials under a false name while waging a rivalry with cynical war correspondent Grant Dashwood and avoiding every attempt at a match.

When British troops march on the capital in a night of fire and smoke, Ella loses everything. With no inheritance and even fewer options, Ella must wed—but the cost of marriage is more than she can afford. Through ruin, conspiracy, and a love written between the lines, she must choose between the people she loves and who she was meant to be.

The Editor’s Daughter is a story of fire and ink — and one woman’s refusal to go unread.

K. A. Felstad lives in Minnesota with her husband, two children, and two dogs. She enjoys reading, writing, and camping. Inspired by a love of classic literature and romance, she writes stories filled with history, heart, and resilient heroines.
