Viola Thornhill jamás se hubiera imaginado lo acertada que llegaría a ser la predicción de aquella gitana: «Cuidado con un desconocido alto y moreno...». Viola creía haber encontrado la paz en Pinewood Manor, la casa que le legó el difunto conde de Bamber porque confiaba en ella y creía que merecía otra oportunidad. Pero Lord Ferdinand Dudley ha viajado al pueblo con el propósito de tomar posesión de esa misma casa, que le ganó a las cartas al joven conde de Bamber. Ni Ferdinand ni Viola están dispuestos a renunciar a lo que consideran suyo, y se embarcan en una convivencia que les deparará muchas sorpresas. Poco a poco surge algo entre ellos: Lord Dudley queda fascinado con Viola, que también se siente atraída por él, pero sabe que no puede hacerse ilusiones. Cuando aparece el conde de Tresham, hermano de Ferdinand, no tardará en reconocer a Viola y desvelar su escandaloso pasado. Y ella, ante la posibilidad de perder la casa y la nueva vida que ha construido allí, decide valerse de su mejor arma para desafiar a Ferdinand... De la mano de una «narradora inigualable» (Romantic Times), adorada por miles de lectoras en todo el mundo, volvemos al rutilante ambiente de la alta sociedad de la Regencia, lleno de secretos inconfesables, misterio y seducción. Mary Balogh nos cautiva una vez más con la historia de una rivalidad convertida en atracción imposible de ocultar, la segunda entrega de la trilogía «Amantes». sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Critics call her "a veritable treasure, a matchless storyteller" (Romantic Times). Readers have fallen in love with Mary Balogh's sparkling blend of wit and romance. Now this dazzling writer sweeps us back to Regency England, into a world of dangerous secrets and glittering intrigue, as a dashing lord meets his match in a fiery beauty who vows to be ... No Man's Mistress. The dark, devastating stranger rode into the village fair and wagered twenty pounds at the throwing booth -- for a chance to win the daisies in Viola Thornhill's hair. The Gypsy fortune teller had warned: "Beware of a tall, dark, handsome stranger. He can destroy you -- if you do not first snare his heart." Recklessly Viola flirted, then danced with him around the Maypole. And then came his delicate, delicious kiss. Viola did not regret that she had let down her guard -- until the next morning, when he appeared at her door to claim her beloved Pinewood Manor. Lord Ferdinand Dudley won her home in a game of cards! Viola hated him for trying to take everything, including her soul. She was mistress of Pinewood Manor. Yet Dudley refused to leave, even as his conscience rebelled at compromising this beautiful innocent whose only proof of ownership was a dead earl's promise. Dudley held the deed, but at what cost? Each day under the same roof brought its share of temptation, intimacy, and guilt. But Viola knew it was a battle she could not afford to lose. Marriage was out of the question, and she would be no man's mistress. Even as Dudley's unnerving presence, his knowing smile, threatened to melt her resolve. Against his better judgment, Lord Ferdinand Dudley was beguiled. This maddening beauty had stirred him as no woman had before. And he was bound and determined to make her his own. At once sensuous, whimsical, and wonderfully romantic, Mary Balogh's new novel holds us in thrall, bringing to life a love story that sizzles with passion and originality.
