"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms

Tras encontrar un retrato brillante flotando en la oscuridad, Casandra cae en un pasadizo que la lleva al México imperial de 1864. Allí despierta en el cuerpo de Victoria, una joven cuyo corazón dejó de latir minutos antes. En esta nueva vida nadie sospecha que ella no pertenece allí... excepto Leo, el mozo a quien ella salva durante un linchamiento apenas llega. Desde entonces, él jura protegerla, incluso de sí misma. Su lealtad se vuelve peligrosa... especialmente cuando empieza a confundirse con algo más. Mientras intenta sobrevivir en una época que no es la suya, Casandra atrae la atención del enigmático pianista estrella de la corte, un hombre tan brillante como indescifrable, cuyos secretos parecen escritos en cada nota que toca. Y cuando la emperatriz Carlota confiesa que la vio en sueños mucho antes de conocerla, Casandra entiende que su llegada no fue un accidente. Pronto, la joven atrapada entre dos épocas deberá elegir entre dos caminos, dos amores... y dos destinos que podrían cambiar la historia para siempre.
