| Annotation |
"Helena Reynolds will do anything to escape her life in London, even if that means travelling to a remote cliffside estate on the North Devon coast and marrying a complete stranger. But Greyfriar's Abbey isn't the sort of refuge she imagined. And ex-army captain Justin Thornhill--though he may be tall, dark and devastatingly handsome--is anything but a romantic hero. He needed redemption... Justin has spent the last two decades making his fortune, settling scores and suffering a prolonged period of torture in an Indian prison. Now, he needs someone to smooth the way for him with the villagers. Someone to manage his household--and warm his bed on occasion. What he needs, in short, is a wife and a matrimonial advertisement seems the perfect way to acquire one. Their marriage was meant to be a business arrangement and nothing more. A dispassionate union free from the entanglements of love and affection. But when Helena's past threatens, will Justin's burgeoning feelings for his new bride compel him to come to her rescue? Or will dark secrets of his own force him to let her go?" -- Provided by publisher.

"Helena Reynolds haría lo que fuera por escapar de su vida en Londres, incluso aunque eso signifique irse hasta la abadía de Greyfriar, en el norte de la costa de Devon, y casarse con un completo desconocido. Sin embargo, Justin Thornhill, ex capitán del ejército, puede ser cualquier cosa menos un héroe romántico, y eso a pesar de que no le falta atractivo. Justin ha pasado las dos últimas décadas construyendo su fortuna y luego encerrado en una prisión de la India, en la que lo torturaron. Busca a alguien que le ayude a relacionarse con la gente del pueblo, que lleve la casa y que le acompañe en la cama... En definitiva, necesita una esposa, y para encontrarla lo mejor que se le ocurre es poner un anuncio de matrimonio. La unión de la pareja promete estar exenta de pasión. Sin embargo, cuando el pasado de ella la acecha, ¿hará algo para ponerla a salvo? ¿Y cuando el suyo lo aceche a él?" -- Proporcionada por la editorial.
