El primer beso ocurrio en un pasillo escasamente iluminado de la mansion de Edwin Hastings. Louisa no lo vio venir...Claro que era imposible que Anthony Stalbridge albergara intenciones romanticas: el beso solo supuso una medida desesperada para evitar que el guardia los descubriera donde no debian estar. Porque, a fin de cuentas, ningun hombre habria considerado que Luisa Bryce, con su vestido sin gracia y sus gafas, fuera una mujer atractiva. / The suspense begins with the first sentence of this romantic mystery from the pseudonymous Quick (Jayne Ann Krentz uses this pseudonym for her Victorian novels). Gossip spreads fast about the liaison between ""unimportant, unfashionable, excessively dull"" Louisa Bryce and wealthy, handsome Anthony Stalbridge. In reality, their first kiss was a spur-of-the-moment coverup when the two are caught snooping around Elwin Hastings's mansion. Louisa, an undercover reporter for the sensational newspaper, Flying Intelligencer, is investigating Hastings's crooked financial dealings, while Anthony seeks the truth about his fiancee, one of three society women who supposedly committed suicide a year ago. Under the guise of their romance, Louisa and Anthony expose Hastings's many criminal schemes. Their relationship isn't all business, however, and Louisa's profession isn't her only secret. Quick's tightly woven tale allows little room for extraneous subplotsevery cracked safe and mysterious prostitute plays an important role. Light humor and playful love scenes temper the more gruesome moments for an alluring combination of foggy nights and steamy afternoons. Reed Business Information
