Low angst, well-drawn characters who communicate. Also, a thing that is unusual in historical romance, admissions from people that being a duke kinda sucks and that being a woman of noble birth kinda sucks even more. Nice treatment of long-term grief/ptsd and learning disability. Close to a 5, but a couple of things seemed too contrived (even for romance) so it did not quite make it, but I really loved the read. El trabajo de Grace Eversleigh no puede ser más ingrato: ser la acompañante y confidente de la viuda Augusta Cavendish, la poderosa duquesa de Wyndham, una mujer altiva y arrogante de corazón duro. Como si eso fuera poco, ahora la duquesa le exige a Grace que sea cómplice del secuestro de Jack Audley, ex capitán del ejército convertido en ladrón de caminos. Es que la anciana está convencida de que Jack es, en realidad, su nieto, el hijo de su hijo más querido. Si está en la cierto, Jack podría ser el verdadero duque de Wyndham, lo que echaría por tierra los planes de Thomas Cavendish, hasta ahora poseedor del título. Pero Jack siempre ha sido un alma libre, y un poco canalla, y lo que menos desea es pertenecer a la rancia nobleza del reino. Hasta que su mirada se cruza con la de la bella Grace, y surge entre ambos una pasión que ninguno de los dos anticipaba y que puede tener consecuencias devastadoras. Porque si Jack es el verdadero duque, Grace jamás podrá hacerlo suyo. Appartient à la sérieEst contenu dansDistinctions

HTML: Jack Audley has been a highwayman. A soldier. And he has always been a rogue. What he is not, and never wanted to be, is a peer of the realm, responsible for an ancient heritage and the livelihood of hundreds. But when he is recognized as the long-lost son of the House of Wyndham, his carefree life is over. And if his birth proves to be legitimate, then he will find himself with the one title he never wanted: Duke of Wyndham. Grace Eversleigh has spent the last five years toiling as the companion to the dowager Duchess of Wyndham. It is a thankless job, with very little break from the routine . . . until Jack Audley lands in her life, all rakish smiles and debonair charm. He is not a man who takes no for an answer, and when she is in his arms, she's not a woman who wants to say no. But if he is the true duke, then he is the one man she can never have . . . .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
