      Londres, 1815 Depuis qu’elle a appris la mort de son fiancé à Waterloo, Lydia pensait qu’elle ne pourrait plus jamais aimer. Son grand amour était tombé au champ d’honneur, et tous ses espoirs avec lui. Recluse dans la demeure familiale d’Ashurst Hall, elle mène depuis ce drame une existence paisible, égayée par le prévenant Tanner, le meilleur ami de son défunt fiancé, qui a juré de veiller sur elle. Mais contre toute attente — et surtout contre toute morale — elle sent monter un trouble de plus en plus fort pour ce confident si attentif, et si séduisant. Se pourrait-il qu'elle nourrisse des sentiments à l'égard d’un homme qui était comme un frère pour son fiancé ? N’est-ce pas une trahison envers la mémoire de ce dernier ? Et Tanner, est-ce seulement par devoir qu’il lui accorde tous ces moments d’intimité, qui les rapprochent au fil des jours ? Elle doit absolument réprimer ses émotions, Lydia le sait : même si son désir était partagé, rien ne pourrait arriver entre eux. Car Tanner est fiancé à une autre...

    • Simply adorable doesn't begin to describe this charming contemporary romance, the first of two books by Michaels (Someone to Love; etc.) about twin brothers Jack and Tim Trehan.Injured and retired from his baseball career at the age of 28, Jack spends his time these days endorsing products and drifting around the mansion he's never gotten around to furnishing. When his Aunt Sadie hires a decorator, Jack is all for it, especially when the pretty decorator shows up shortly after his hippie cousin leaves her infant daughter, Magenta Moon, on his doorstep and departs for Katmandu.Interior designer Keely McBride is desperate for a job and figures the commission from decorating Jack's swank suburban digs will provide the funds she needs to open her own business back in Manhattan. She'll do anything to remain employed, including caring for Jack's niece.Complications set in when Magenta Moon's mobster wannabe uncle decides he wants custody and Keely and Jack pretend to be engaged to throw off a social worker.Lively banter and imaginative characters -- such as Petra, the precocious baby sitter; Sweetness, the boxer paid to throw fights; and wacky Aunt Sadie, who decorates her home with plastic oddities -- come together to make this witty, whirlwind narrative a delight.
