Sleepless in Scotland: (Pennington Family)
Sin Dormir en EscociaSerie de la familia Pennington
UN HÉROE HERIDO...
UNA MUJER CON SECRETOS...
UN ASESINO AL ACECHO EN LA NIEBLA...
ESCÁNDALO, AMOR Y LA MANO DEL DESTINO...
El capitán Ian Bell es un hombre torturado que lucha contra el dolor y la culpa por la pérdida de su hermana. Ahora, tres años después, Ian sigue buscando a su asesino en el peligroso submundo criminal de Edimburgo. Entonces, una noche, una joven escapa por poco de la muerte y cae a sus pies... la mejor amiga de su difunta hermana, Phoebe Pennington.
Lady Phoebe Pennington -soñadora y cuentacuentos para su familia- es una reformista comprometida que escribe artículos de forma anónima para un periódico de Edimburgo. Una noche, Phoebe desciende al corrupto e hirviente mundo de las bóvedas. Cuando intenta salvar a un vagabundo de un asaltante, se convierte en el blanco de un violento ataque, sólo para ser salvada por el único hombre que ha deseado durante años.
La atracción que siente Ian por Phoebe es tan innegable como inesperada, y ella despierta en él pasiones que creía muertas desde hacía mucho tiempo. La sangre de Phoebe arde por Ian, pero cuando se entera de que él puede estar implicado en el escándalo que ella se ha propuesto destapar, se encuentra dividida entre el amor y la verdad. Pero el destino está tomando cartas en el asunto, pues Phoebe es la única que ha visto el rostro del asesino, y las sombras del mal están más cerca de lo que imaginan.

It was ok. Shallow writing and insta-love and the mystery was fairly obvious but not a terrible read.
