About this book

O desejo que sentiam um pelo outro era inegável, mas… seria suficiente seu amor para libertá-los? Seu pai a tinha trancado sendo menina, e Helena Lambarth havia jurado então que ninguém a submeteria. Mas para cumprir o último desejo de sua mãe, viajou a Londres para se apresentar em sociedade… e assim se encontrou de repente como hóspede de lorde Darnell.Adam, lorde Darnell, não tinha tempo de vigiar ou ajudar aquela jovem desalinhada, mas havia concordado em ser padrinho dela. Carregado com as dívidas de seu pai, Adam sabia que sua única esperança era conseguir casar-se com a rica Priscilla Standish. Teria desejado que Priscilla não fosse tão comum quando comparada com a pouco convencional Helena… que ademais, tinha se convertido em uma mulher simplesmente cativante. ============== / ================= / ===============Finally free of her nightmarish life under an abusive father, Helena Lambarth arrives in London a gawky, half-starved waif, but an amazingly wealthy one. With both parents dead, she is commended to the care of her mother's dear cousin Lillian and that lady's stepchildren, the handsome and enigmatic Adam, Lord Darnell; and his sister, Charis. They welcome the orphan to their home and hearts, but much as Helena tries to conform to society's dictates, she is unprepared for the malice and scheming she encounters during her season. Justiss rivals Georgette Heyer in the beloved The Grand Sophy (1972) by creating a riveting young woman of character and good humor. Helena's charm captures the hearts of several men-about-town, but she is reluctantly drawn to the honorable, if befuddled, Adam, who has recently tendered an offer of marriage to another. The horrific nature of Helena's childhood adds complexity and depth to this historical romance, and unexpected plot twists and layers also increase the reader's enjoyment.
