Victoria Alexander Knihy

Thomasi Effingtonovi, markýzi z Helmsley, připadl nelehký úkol: být galantním průvodcem tří sester Sheltonových během londýnské společenské sezóny. Je pevně rozhodnut je co nejdříve dostat pod čepec, aby se mohl brzy vrátit ke svému hejskovskému způsobu života. Ani na okamžik nepochybuje, že najít tři ženichy bude snadné. Poněkud se ovšem přepočítal. Najít ženichy by možná bylo snadné, ovšem nevěst se mu jaksi nedostává. Nejstarší sestra Marianne nejeví o manželství nejmenší zájem, ba právě naopak. Je odhodlána využít první příležitosti k dobrodružství, jaké londýnské salóny nabízí - a Thomasovi tudíž nezbývá, než ji osobně zasvětit do tajů života dřív, než se té role ochotně ujme jiný muž a navěky Marianne zostudí. Ani jeden by za nic na světě nepřipustil, že ho ten druhý přitahuje. A tak si během souboje dvou silných vůlí udělují navzájem lekci, aby postupně zjistili, že si možná od života přejí něco docela jiného, než si původně mysleli. A že láska a manželství mohou být největším dobrodružstvím ze všech.

Gillian ist eine junge Witwe von 29 Jahren. Ihr steht eine erhebliche Erbschaft ins Haus, sofern sie es schafft, an ihrem 30. Geburtstag verheiratet zu sein. Dummerweise hat sie ihren verstorbenen Gemahl sehr geliebt und ist von einer neuerlichen Vermählung nicht wirklich angetan. Allerdings benötigt sie die Erbschaft dringend, um von ihrer Familie unabhängig zu sein und weiterhin als Mäzenin für Künstler auftreten zu können. So entschließt sie sich, dem verarmten Earl Richard of Shelbrooke ein unmoralisches Angebot zu machen: Er soll sie - nur auf dem Papier - heiraten, damit beide in den Genuss der Erbschaft kommen. Richard könnte damit seine Grafschaft wieder auf Vordermann bringen, Gillian könnte weiterhin als Mäzenin agieren. Doch Richard weist dieses Ansinnen von sich; schließlich möchte er Kinder, damit sein Name und der Titel weiterhin bestehen bleibt...
