Sherry Thomas

En la esplendorosa y refnada Inglaterra de fnales del siglo x i x, lord y lady Tremaine encarnan un matrimonio perfecto, basado en el respeto y la libertad, sobre todo porque cada uno vive a un lado del Atlantico. Sin embargo, cuando ella le pida el divorcio a fn de poder volver a casarse, el le pondra una condicion: que permanezcan juntos un año mas para que le de un heredero. Y, sin duda, un año dedicado a tales menesteres puede dar mucho de si.Excelente ambientacion de un Londres aristocratico para una historia de amor inusual, que parece condenada al fracaso desde el principio.

Love is hottest in the darkness before dawn. Elissande Edgerton is a desperate woman, a virtual prisoner in the home of her tyrannical uncle. Only through marriage can she claim the freedom she craves. But how to catch the perfect man? Lord Vere is used to baiting irresistible traps. As a secret agent for the government, he's tracked down some of the most devious criminals in London, all the while maintaining his cover as one of Society's most harmless—and idiotic—bachelors. But nothing can prepare him for the scandal of being ensnared by Elissande. Forced into a marriage of convenience, Elissande and Vere are each about to discover that they're not the only one with a hidden agenda. With seduction their only weapon—and a dark secret from the past endangering both their lives—can they learn to trust each other even as they surrender to a passion that won't be denied?
