Gellert Beck no sabía quién era su padre, salvo que había sido un soldado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin embargo, hay muchas cosas que tardó en enterarse, como su estrecha amistad Hitler, o que había asesinado a prisioneros judíos con sus propias manos o que su muerte se debió, nada más y nada menos que a... no, eso tardará aún más en enterarse. Porque decidido a corroborar la verdad, comenzará un viaje por Europa buscando pistas, encontrando gentes, y quizá, enamorándose más de la cuenta.
Una historia de revelaciones, aventuras, romances y misterios, donde una gran diversidad de personajes, cada cual con sus propios objetivos, querrán alcanzar sus fines sin que nadie se interponga en su camino.
¿Serás capaz de soportar la verdad?
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
