Produktbeschreibung
Charming rascal Tristan Northwood seems to have it all: an ancient name, a noble inheritance, a lovely wife, and a son he adores. Women love him, men admire him, and it seems there is nothing he can't do, whether it's seducing a society wife or winning a carriage race. Little does Society suspect that the name means nothing to him, the fortune is in his father's controlling hands, and he has no interest in his wife except a very distant friendship. Society bores him, and he takes dares because he only feels alive when he's dancing on the edge... until his wife's brother comes home from the wars. Decorated war hero Major Charles Mountjoy jerks Tris out of his despair by inspiring feelings of passion Tris had never suspected himself capable of. Almost as terrifying as those feelings for Charles are the signs Charles might return his affection-or, even worse, that Charles sees the man Tristan has been trying so valiantly to hide from the world.
Autorenporträt
Rowan Speedwell, eine reuelose Biblioholikerin, verbringt die eine Hälfte ihrer Zeit damit, so zu tun, als wäre sie eine Bibliothekarin, die andere Hälfte damit, so zu tun, als wäre sie eine Datenbankmanagerin, die andere Hälfte damit, so zu tun, als wäre sie eine aragonische Edelfrau aus dem fünfzehnten Jahrhundert, die andere Hälfte ... Moment mal ... hmm. Nun, sie tut jedenfalls nicht so, als wäre sie gut in Mathe. Aber sie ist gut im so-tun-als-ob. In ihrer üppigen (hah!) Freizeit handarbeitet, kalligraphiert und illuminiert sie und stellt Schmuck her. Sie hat ihren Master in Geschichte an der University of Chicago gemacht, ist ein Mitglied der Society for Creative Anachronism und lebt in einem Vorort von Chicago, zusammen mit der obligatorischen Dichterkatze und viel zu vielen Büchern.
