Books like The seductive one by Susan Mallery
In California’s wine country, the Marcelli sisters are waiting for their defining moment at the family winery. Brenna, the most ambitious of the sisters, finally receives the chance to lead Marcelli Winery—but her grandfather’s traditional, Old World belief that a male should inherit the business stands in the way. To secure the capital needed to win her grandfather’s approval, Brenna turns to Nic Giovanni, her family’s longstanding rival. Years ago she had ended their secret romance to honor her family, yet Nic’s return—and the million‑dollar loan he offers—tests Brenna’s loyalties. She must decide whether Nic is her true love or a schemer who could undo the Marcelli legacy, all while steering the venture to success.

This work, a chapter from Kierkegaard's first major volume, Either/Or, springs from his relationship with his fiancee, Regine Olsen. Kierkegaard fell in love with the young woman, ten years his junior, proposed to her, but then broke off their engagement a year later. This event affected Kierkegaard profoundly. Olsen became a muse for him, and a flood of volumes resulted.
His attempt to set right, in writing, what he feels was a mistake in his relationship with Olsen taught him the secret of "indirect communication." The Seducer's Diary, then, becomes Kierkegaard's attempt to portray himself as a scoundrel and thus make their break easier for her. Matters of marriage, the ethical versus the aesthetic, dread, and, increasingly, the severities of Christianity are pondered by Kierkegaard in this intense work.
