Bartholomew, Tome 1 : Les ombres de la Casa Mañana

Résumé

Brad continua à fixer d’un œil absent les chiffres étalés devant lui. Dans son souvenir, dansait l’image d’une toute jeune fille dont les grands yeux bruns éclairaient un visage très pur encadré par une chevelure de jais qui balayait des reins de danseuse; il la revoyait en train de le guider vers les profondeurs de La Casa Mañana et cet appartement privé dont la découverte allait totalement bouleverser le jeune homme qu’il était.

D’un geste las, Brad chassa ce souvenir. Tout cela appartenait au passé. La ravissante petite sauvageonne n’était plus. C’était une femme brillante, très belle et sûre d’elle-même qu’il devait affronter aujourd’hui.

"Their union was both fated and doomed. Bargaining with the Bartholomew family for a loan was like bargaining with the devil. But Gina O'Con would have sold her sould to restore the hotel Casa Manana to its former glory. She'd do it to avenge her mother, whose ambitions had been thwarted by those who condemned her for loving the great Sylvester Bartholomew. However, after meeting Sylvester's son, Gina was suddenly aware that both her sould and her body were at stake. And her overwhelming lust for Brad was a frightening reminder of her mother's mistake- one Gina vowed never to repeat. Times might have changed, but Brad was still a rich and powerful Bartholomew, and she was still from the wrong side of the tracks."
