"Charlotte Gallagher finds herself at a ball under the gaze of the other guests and what little family she has left. Her stepbrother Edward wants to force her to marry a man she doesn't love while pressuring her to pretend to be happy about her impending engagement to Lord Sidmouth. Charlotte feels alone and trapped. She has no one to turn to and is horrified at the thought of marrying a man she despises. Desperate, she moves away from people in search of a respite and, without expecting it, she meets Alonso, a Spanish agent whom she will not hesitate to use to achieve her longed-for freedom. A novel set in the late nineteenth century between Spain and the United States, steeped in the atmosphere of nineteenth-century Madrid and in which love will have to fight against mistrust, espionage and personal interests." -- Translation provided by NLS. -- Violence, explicit descriptions of sex and some strong language. Spanish language.
