Duchessa per vendetta (La Serie di Craven House #3)
by Christina McKnightC'è una linea sottile tra l'amore e l'odio. Nonostante sia stata gettata fuori dalla sua casa e spogliata del posto che le spettava in società, Marce Davenport è orgogliosa di quanto ha fatto per la famiglia e per la notoriamente scandalosa Craven House. Ma è tutta una bugia. Quando, otto anni prima, un arrogante duca si era presentato nella sua casa per offrirle la possibilità di continuare a gestire il bordello, aveva accettato la proposta. Ma ormai i suoi fratelli sono sistemati, e Marce può finalmente vivere come ha sempre desiderato: libera da inganni e menzogne. Per raggiungere il suo scopo, ha bisogno di recidere ogni legame con l'uomo che l'ha tenuta emotivamente e fisicamente prigioniera per anni. Rowan Delconti, duca di Harwich, vive da anni tormentato dalla rabbia nei confronti del padre, della donna che ha causato la fine del matrimonio dei suoi genitori e dei bambini che si sono goduti l'amore del vecchio duca. La duchessa madre vuole disperatamente vederlo sposato prima di morire, e lui, determinato a rendere felici i suoi ultimi anni, le presenta Marce come sua moglie. Ma quella bella donna bionda alimenta in lui un fuoco come nessuno aveva mai fatto, e la farsa comincia a trasformarsi in qualcosa di fin troppo reale. Quando i segreti di Marce e Rowan vengono finalmente alla luce, la loro passione potrebbe non essere sufficiente ad alleviare il dolore vissuto nel passato. Possono due persone apparentemente così diverse scoprire di essere fatte l'una per l'altra?
