Messagere de la passion - The Wedding Game - French Edition Author:Jane Feather French Description: — Pour ce qui est des rendez-vous discrets, rien ne vaut la National Gallery. Et lorsqu'on dirige une publication aussi contestée que le Mayfair Lady, la confidentialité est de rigueur ! Le visage dissimulé par une épaisse voilette, Chastity Duncan étudie son interlocuteu... more »r. Le Dr Douglas Farrell a un physique plutôt attirant. Grand, bien bâti, des cheveux noirs bouclés, des yeux de jais, une grande bouche, un menton volontaire... Quelles raisons peuvent pousser un tel homme à recourir aux services d'une agence matrimoniale
Je viens d'arriver à Londres, expose-t-il d'un ton froid et terre-à-terre. J'ai l'intention d'ouvrir dans Harley Street un cabinet, dont je suis certain qu'il générera de grosses rentrées d'argent. Mais se créer une clientèle est extrêmement onéreux. Je cherche donc une épouse riche, qui m'apportera également les relations sociales dont j'ai besoin. Quel cynisme ! Chastity est outrée !
English Description:
The inimitable, anonymous Duncan sisters continue to earn a living -- and a reputation -- with their clandestine matchmaking service. But a handsome new client has thrown youngest sister Chastity into a professional, and quite personal, quandary.
From behind her opaque veil, Chastity listened to Dr. Douglas Farrell's distressingly unromantic requirements for a wife: wealth and social status. Her instinct was to refuse a man with such mercenary intentions. But she couldn't turn away a paying client. Obviously, if the tall, muscular, dark-eyed physician had wanted a love match, he'd have found one himself. Yet the truth about the pragmatic doctor is one that could very well turn her head -- and steal her heart -- providing she discovers it before it's too late.
At the age of thirty-five, Douglas Farrell was ready to sacrifice his bachelorhood for his true passion -- caring for the poorest of London's poor. But his dream requires capital. For that, he is convinced he needs a wealthy, well-connected wife. And for that, he needs the services of one mysteriously disguised, peculiarly accented -- increasingly captivating -- woman who will reveal herself only as the Mayfair Lady.« less
