Los sueños inocentes de Lady Grace Ledys se han desvanecido. Ella, que siempre habia imaginado que la felicidad mas plena la alcanzaria junto a su reciente esposo, el marques de Knighton, debe enfrentarse a la dura realidad: su marido, Christian, es un hombre frio, indiferente y cargado de secretos de un pasado terrible. Convencida de que nunca lograra la tan anhelada dicha, Grace se traslada a Skynegal, un castillo llamado asi por los legendarios pajaros blancos que lo protegen. Alli, la joven desposada cree entrever la esperanza de amar a su marido y ser correspondida. Pero para ello tendra que vencer ese oscuro pasado que les acecha. / Set in 1820, this Regency is a melodramatic addition to Reding's White Quartet series (White Magic, White Heather). Country innocent Lady Grace Ledys enters an arranged marriage with Christian Wycliffe, the handsome, much-sought-after heir to the Duke of Westover. Predictably, her betrothed is sullen, rude and harbors a dark past. Grace, an orphan who was brought up by a doting grandmother, is ill-suited to London society and unable to cope with her bridegroom's increasingly sulky behavior. When Grace flees to the romantic Skynegal Castle in the Scottish Highlands, her grandmother's girlhood home, the story shifts focus somewhat to explore the history and drama of the Scottish Clearances. Reding writes well, but even her most enthusiastic fans might find this dark tale too depressing. Wycliffe's mental cruelty toward Grace is unpleasant, and his abrupt change of character doesn't ring true. He's no knight in shining armorAa must for a traditional Regency. Reed Business Information
