Romance Jack Haines, conde de Lambourne, huye hacia su Escocia natal al enterarse de que aparece en un escandaloso libro acusado de cometer adulterio con la princesa de Gales. Durante su fuga cae prisionero de un laird escocés, que le propone un insólito trato a cambio de no entregarlo: si permanece casado durante un año y un día con su sobrina, le perdonará la vida. Jack acepta la oferta, y más cuando conoce a la encantadora Lizzie Beal. Pero ella detesta esa escandalosa unión y no soporta vivir con un noble inglés fugitivo. Sin embargo, las enseñanzas sobre los placeres del matrimonio que le brinda Jack enciende en ambos una pasión que les hará desear permanecer unidos mucho más tiempo que un año y un día. I don't know what people's problems are with this book. I've looked at some of the reviews here, and feel as though others must have read an entirely different book from the one I did. It was great. Really, really great and warm and loving. Yes, it was in the tradition of all those tales wherein a group of people are thrown together, detest each other and then grow to be each others biggest fans after a remarkably fortuitous shift in the social circle, but who cares? Julia London did it well, with almost cinematic descriptions, or at least highly visual ones that I could see a director thanking her for if a movie were ever made. There's enough in life to moan about. Why moan about a genuinely good book? Sorry. I have no patience for silly criticisms. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The second historical romance novel in New York Times bestselling author Julia London's Scandalous series. On the run from the wrathful Prince of Wales, Jack Haines, Earl of Lambourne, is taken prisoner by a Highland laird who makes him an unusual offer: if Jack handfasts his niece, then his life will be spared. The old Highland custom--a marriage lasting only a year and a day, unless both partners agree to make it a lifelong vow--sounds preferable to Jack to being dragged to London in chains, and when he meets lovely Lizzie Beal, his dilemma starts to seem positively enjoyable. Until the hellion vents her fury...on him! Detesting the scandalous match that will end all her chances of making a respectable marriage, Lizzie can't abide living intimately with a fugitive nobleman bent on seducing her and then running off. But in teaching her the pleasures of a wife's duties, Jack sparks within them both a passion that will make him wish he could stay with Lizzie for much longer than a year and a day.
