Les Crighton, Tome 7 : L'épouse du gouverneur

Résumé

Qui sera la future épouse du gouverneur ? Le comté du New Wiltshire bruit des rumeurs les plus folles. Car Liam Connelly, que tous les sondages donnent victorieux dans la bataille électorale à venir, est aussi l'un des célibataires les plus en vue du pays. Or ses conseillers le lui répètent à longueur de journée : il aurait tout à gagner à se marier avant le scrutin. Un couple uni n'est-il pas un gage de sérieux et de stabilité ? Mais Liam ne les écoute pas. Ces tactiques électoralistes lui répugnent. Il est hors de question qu'il consente à un mariage précipité avec une fiancée choisie par son attachée de presse ! En outre, une femme, une seule, lui fait tourner la tête : Samantha Miller, la fille du gouverneur sortant. Impétueuse et passionnée, elle lui a avoué sa flamme, quelques années plus tôt. Mais il a préféré jouer la comédie de l'indifférence. Car Samantha n'a aucun goût pour la vie publique – alors qu'il en a fait, lui, une véritable passion...

Description en VO :

In a moment of weakness, Samantha Miller had confessed to the man she'd loved for years her deep-felt secret -- she yearned to become a wife and mother. Having carefully kept Samantha at arm's length, Liam is surprised at his response. He'd always thought her impetuous nature made them an unlikely match. But suddenly Liam finds himself wanting to succumb to her tantalizing sensuality, and wanting to become the father of her babies . . .

Liam Connolly should have been relieved to see Samantha Miller set off for England in search of the ideal husband to start a family with. Ever since Sam was a teenager, she';s had a crush on Liam. But he's always resisted, believing they were an unlikely match. So why does he suddenly want to be the man to father her babies?

Samantha Miller yearned to start a family, but eligible men were in short supply.

Maybe visiting her happily married twin in England would help. Liam Connolly should have been relieved to see Sam set off for England. Since she'd been a gangly teenager, she'd had a crush on him.

He'd managed to resist her as he'd felt her impetuous nature made them an unlikely match. So why, after she'd confessed the reason behind her trip, did he suddenly find he wanted to be the man to father her babies!
