Cita De Amor
Автор: Amanda QuickЖанр: Иностранная литература
Augusta Ballinger estaba segura de que se trataba de un terrible error. No era posible que el temible, pomposo y peligrosamente perturbador conde de Graystone quisiera casarse con ella… porque se rumoreaba que la elegida tenía que ser un dechado de virtudes. Y todos sabían que ella, la última descendiente de los desenfrenados Ballinger de Northumberland, no respetaba las normas sociales. Con el fin de convencer al conde de que no es la esposa apropiada, planea un encuentro a medianoche. Pero al entrar en la casa por una ventana sólo consigue fortalecer la resolución de él: arrancar a besos la risa de esos labios de miel y enseñar buen comportamiento a la indomable jovencita. Pero un viejo enemigo irrumpe para amenazar el amor de los dos, su honor e incluso su vida.

Quicksilver
Автор: Amanda QuickЖанр: Иностранная литература
In the New York Times-bestselling author's latest Arcane Society novel, a paranormal killer pushes an unlikely duo's powers and passions to the limit. Virginia Dean wakes at midnight beside a dead body, with a bloody knife in her hand and no memory of the evening's events. Dark energy, emanating from the mirrors lining the room, overpowers her senses. With no apparent way in or out, she is rescued by a man she has met only once before, but won't soon forget. Owen Sweetwater inherited his family's talent for hunting the psychical monsters who prey on London's women and children, and his investigation into the deaths of two glass-readers has led him here. The high-society types of the exclusive Arcane Society would consider Virginia an illusionist, a charlatan, even a criminal, but Owen knows better. Virginia's powers are real—and they just might be the key to solving this challenging case.

Wait Until Midnight
Автор: Amanda QuickЖанр: Иностранная литература
Adam Hardesty has a serious problem. The secrets of his past are in danger of being exposed, and in the course of investigating his would-be blackmailer, he discovers the dead body of a prominent psychic. To make matters worse, her house has been torn apart, and the diary containing Adam's secrets is missing. His only lead is a list of the psychic's last visitors — the people who came to her house for a sitting on the night of her death. The most likely suspect is a woman named Mrs. Caroline Fordyce, whom he confronts in her parlour, only to discover an inconvenient attraction to the beautiful young widow. Alarmed by Adam's insinuations and questions, Caroline concludes that she must conduct her own investigation into this strange matter. If she can discover the true killer, Adam will have no reason to expose her connection to the dead psychic, which would cause a scandal she and her aunts could ill-afford. Besides, her life has been boringly uncomplicated for too long, and the exciting tension she feels around Adam presents a welcome alternative to her mundane daily routine.
