by Bethany Bells¿Puede el amor verdadero enlazar dos corazones acostumbrados a la mentira? Elizabeth Windsor-York, la joven inglesa que ejerce de maestra en la escuela de Elizabethtown, está llena de secretos. No se llama así, no es maestra y, desde luego, no es inglesa. Es una impostora que se dirigió a aquel lugar esperando cazar a su nuevo banquero, pero aquel maldito se enamoró de otra. Eso no la ha desalentado, ni mucho menos. La señorita Windsor-York se ha limitado a mirar en otra dirección, buscando una nueva víctima para sus planes.

Incluso aunque tenga que hacerlo con el director del periódico de la ciudad, ese irritante individuo de perturbadores ojos color humo, capaces de acelerar su sangre con una sola mirada. David Cassane llegó a Elizabethtown bajo un nombre falso, y con una fortuna arrancada de las manos de un cadáver, para reclamar a sus amigos una vieja traición. Tras todo lo vivido, no esperaba descubrir que en realidad no deseaba ninguna venganza, ni sorprenderse pensando una y otra vez en esa bella impostora que ocupaba el puesto de maestra, con su acento inglés, tan perfecto como fingido. ¿Se puede confiar en alguien que vive conspirando en un entramado de mentiras, moviéndose con la soltura de una araña en su tela? ¿Y es posible amar a alguien en quien no confías lo más mínimo? A medida que esa mujer se le cuela en la sangre como un mal veneno, Cassane, periodista acostumbrado a plantear la vida en preguntas, no logra encontrar respuesta para estas.
