Descrip­tions

Lorsque Flavian Arnott, membre du Club des Survivants, revient de la guerre, il constate que Velma, sa fiancée, l'a trahi et a épousé un autre homme. Blessé, humilié, il s'est juré de ne plus jamais croire à l'amour. Or, Velma est désormais veuve. Tout le monde s'attend qu’ils renouent... et Flavian panique. Sur un coup de tête, il demande la main d'Agnès, jeune femme tranquille et raisonnable qui entend elle aussi fuir la passion. Il croit ainsi préserver sa tranquillité d'âme. Mais le jour où Agnès s'aperçoit qu'il l'a épousée par dépit, il comprend qu'il ne pourra pas éviter les tourments du cœur.

Flavian, Viscount Ponsonby, was devastated by his fiancée’s desertion after his return home. Now the woman who broke his heart is back—and everyone is eager to revive their engagement. Except Flavian, who, in a panic, runs straight into the arms of a most sensible yet enchanting young woman.

Agnes Keeping has never been in love—and never wishes to be. But then she meets the charismatic Flavian, and suddenly Agnes falls so foolishly and so deeply that she agrees to his impetuous proposal of marriage.

When Agnes discovers that the proposal is only to avenge his former love, she’s determined to flee. But Flavian has no intention of letting his new bride go, especially now that he too has fallen so passionately and so unexpectedly in love.
