Description

Noul roman semnat de Mary Balogh este scris în acelaşi stil seducător cu care ne-a obişnuit deja. Eroina este o femeie care s-a împăcat cu singurătatea şi care-i permite unui temerar erou de război să-i stârnească pasiunea. Gwendoline a trecut printr-o tragedie când un accident ciudat i-a răpit soţul mult prea devreme. Tânăra văduvă se mulţumeşte, apoi, cu o viaţă liniştită şi retrasă şi nu are nici o intenţie de a se recăsători. Dar când Hugo o ia în braţe după un mic accident, simte o puternică vibraţie în tot corpul. Eroul nostru e un gentleman doar cu numele, un soldat dur al cărui curaj îi aduce un titlu de nobleţe. În noua sa postură, de lord, este nevoit să-şi caute o soţie. Viaţa îl aruncă în numeroase încercări şi trebuie să facă faţă multor obstacole. Oare îşi va găsi fericirea?
