Eloisa James

Lady Henrietta Maclellan longs for the romantic swirl of a London season. But as a rusticating country maiden, she has always kept her sensuous nature firmly under wraps - until she meets Simon Darby. Simon makes her want to whisper promises late at night, exchange kisses on a balcony and receive illicit love notes. So Henrietta lets her imagination soar and writes a letter . . . a very steamy love letter that somehow becomes shockingly public. Everyone supposes that he has written the letter to her, but the truth hardly matters in the face of the scandal to come if they dont marry at once. But nothing has quite prepared Henrietta for the pure sensuality of Simon, who has vowed he will never turn himself into a fool over a woman. So, while debutantes swoon as he disdainfully strides past the lovely ladies of the ton, he ignores them all . . . until Henrietta. Could it be possible that he has been the foolish one all along?

La joven huérfana Tess Essex tiene un lema: casarse cuanto antes y casarse bien. Y con esta idea pretende encontrar marido para sus tres hermanas: Annabel, Imogen y Josie. Con la única dote de un caballo de carreras, el apoyo de un tutor apocado y borrachin y los sabios consejos de sus hermanas, se lanza a la caza y captura del esposo ideal.

En esta novela, Eloisa James nos presenta las andanzas de la segunda de las cuatro hermanas Essex, la refinada Annabel. El objetivo declarado de esta damisela ha sido pescar a un marido rico. Por eso, la primera sorprendida (y aterrada) es ella cuando se ve obligada a casarse con Ewan, conde de Ardmore- Lacks, un aristócrata escocés del que se rumorea que está completamente arruinado. Durante el accidentado viaje a las posesiones de su recién estrenado marido, Ewan y Annabel empezarán a conocerse y dejar a un lado los prejuicios. Una historia deliciosa, con resonancias de la comedia de Shakespeare La fierecilla domada y poblada de divertidísimos personajes secundarios, algunos de los cuales ya aparecieron en Los maridos también se enamoran y otros nuevos que, sin duda, darán mucho juego en las futuras novelas de la autora.
