Tessa Dare Knihy

Spindle Cove je místo, kam se uchylují problémové mladé dámy z lepší společnosti, s nimiž si společnost v první polovině 19. století neví rady: najdou se tu dívky chorobně plaché, mladé ženy zklamané manželstvím i slečny, které se pobláznily do nevhodných mužů. Když sem dorazí Victor Bramwell, hrabě z Rycliffu, rychle pochopí, že rozhodně nepatří do míst, kde žijí pouze staré panny a ovce. Nemá však na vybranou – jeho úkolem je sestavit zde oddíl domobrany. Nebyl by to těžký úkol, kdyby nenarazil na nečekaného protivníka: temperamentní a krásnou Susannu Finchovou, jež je odhodlána uchránit svou osobní říši utopie před vpádem Bramovy improvizované armády. Ti dva jsou jako oheň a voda – scéna je připravena pro bitvu století. Zvítězí arogantní muž, neslýchaně smělá žena, nebo oba? Či snad oba prohrají? Nová série „Spindle Cove“ nabízí romanci, poutavý příběh i humor.

Nezdárný lord a „modrá punčocha“ na cestě zkázy – tak by se dal ve stručnosti vyjádřit děj druhého románu série Spindle Cove, v němž se Minerva Highwoodová, zapřisáhlá odpůrkyně mužů, potřebuje dostat do Skotska. Colin Sandhurst, lord Payne, se potřebuje dostat… kamkoli, jen aby to bylo co nejdál od Spindle Cove. Tato nesourodá dvojice spolu musí z nezbytnosti strávit týden, během nějž jí nezbývá, než předstírat společný útěk za účelem sňatku, přesvědčit rodinu a přátele o své nehynoucí lásce, utéct ozbrojeným lupičům, přežít nečekané hrůzy a především urazit šest set kilometrů, aniž by se navzájem zavraždila – a při tom všem sdílet velmi malý kočár během dne a ještě menší postel za nocí. Tessa Dare předkládá čtenářkám poutavý, dějem nabitý a vtipný román, v němž – jak jinak – vítězí vášeň a láska.
