Synopsis
Después de un duelo de funestas consecuencias entre dos amigos, Daniel Smythe-Smith debe huir de Londres y su rival, Hugh Prentice, queda lisiado para siempre. Daniel, reivindicado, ha podido regresar, pero Hugh, un brillante matemático, se ha convertido en un hombre amargado con escasa paciencia para los superfluos rituales de la alta sociedad y con ninguna esperanza de poder cortejar a una de las damas de alcurnia que antes lo rodeaban. Mucho menos a lady Sarah Pleinsworth, la irritante y autoritaria mujer encargada de cuidarlo. Por si esto fuera poco, Sarah pertenece a la familia de Daniel, y considera que Hugh es culpable de muchas de las tragedias desencadenadas por el fatídico duelo. Cuando Sarah y Hugh están juntos son como el agua y el aceite. Pero poco a poco, las chispas de odio y resentimiento que surgen entre ellos van dando lugar a una atracción cada vez más profunda, a la que ninguno de los dos puede oponerse.
Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth was ever acquainted with the words shy or retiring, she's long since abandoned them. Besides, even if Hugh did grow to enjoy her company, it wouldn't matter. A reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now, unable to run, ride, or even waltz, he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her. Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought three years earlier, the one that nearly destroyed her family. Even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldn't matter. She doesn't care that his leg is less than perfect, it's his personality she can't abide. But when the pair is forced to spend a week in close company they discover that first impressions are not always reliable. And when one kiss leads to two, three, and four, the mathematician may lose count, and the lady may, for the first time, find herself speechless.
Charmingly romantic, with compelling edges of dark conflict and sexual tension. Kirkus Reviews
A wild romp... There's witty banter, a colorful cast of characters and enough secrets and scandals to keep the gossip-mongers happy. A great, entertaining read. RT Book Reviews
Una diversión interminable con excelentes personajes que te hacen reír a carcajadas con sus diálogos. Te hacen mantener la risa aún mucho después de haber cerrado el libro. ¡Una historia encantadora que es pura diversión! Library Journal
