Les Joyaux de la discorde

Résumé

De retour à Londres après une absence de cinq ans, Adam Penrose, duc de Stratton, est décidé à se marier. Et pourquoi pas avec la petite-fille de sa voisine qui, après des années de brouille, lui propose d'enterrer la hache de guerre entre leurs deux familles ? D'emblée, Adam est conquis par la fougueuse Clara. Mais on le met en garde : elle a un caractère de harpie et sa fortune personnelle lui permet de vivre dans une scandaleuse indépendance. D'ailleurs, elle refuse catégoriquement l'idée du mariage. Comment séduire cette rebelle ? Adam a sa petite idée. Et, ensemble, ils vont enfreindre une à une toutes les convenances...

FAINT OF HEART NEED NOT APPLY

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there’s one problem: she’s far more interested in publishing her women’s journal than getting married—especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though, with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere—along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?
