THE MOST DANGEROUS DUKE IN LONDON
Book ID/图书代码: 14780017C00017
English Summary/英文概要: Name and title: Adam Penrose, Duke of Stratton. Affiliation: London’s elite Society of Decadent Dukes. Family history: Scandalous. Personality traits: Dark and brooding, with a thirst for revenge. Ideal romantic partner: A woman of means, with beauty and brains, willing to live with reckless abandon. Desire: Clara Cheswick, gorgeous daughter of his family’s sworn enemy. FAINT OF HEART NEED NOT APPLY
Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there’s one problem: she’s far more interested in publishing her women’s journal than getting married--especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though, with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere--along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 姓名及头衔:亚当•彭罗斯,斯特拉顿公爵。隶属关系:伦敦颓废公爵精英协会。家族史:可耻的。性格特点:黑暗、忧郁,渴望复仇。理想的浪漫伴侣:一个富有的女人,拥有美貌和智慧,愿意不计后果地放纵生活。欲望:克拉拉•切斯威克,他家死敌的漂亮女儿。《胆小者不适用》
克莱拉也许是亚当想要的女人,但有一个问题:她对出版自己的女性杂志远比结婚更感兴趣——尤其是对一个据说决心要复仇的男人。尽管克莱拉对故事很感兴趣,但她怀疑他对正义的渴望是否真诚——以及他想成为她丈夫的令人难以置信的令人不安的意图。如果她对他的吻的软弱的膝盖反应是任何迹象,爱上亚当显然是有代价的。但谁知道追求危险会是如此令人兴奋的乐趣呢?
这是《纽约时报》历史爱情三部曲的第一部,也是畅销书作家:三位英俊的公爵,三场比分大战,三颗心即将相遇。臭名昭著的贵族寻找妻子:汉密尔顿,斯特拉斯伯里公爵。(WYL)
