Eleonor “Ellie” Lyndon nunca imaginó que su tranquilo paseo por el bosque acabaría con un hombre a sus pies. Charles Wycombe, conde de Billington, acaba de caer literalmente del cielo con la solución a sus problemas. El aristócrata cuenta con poco tiempo para contraer matrimonio y conservar su herencia, y Ellie debe huir de su casa si no quiere acabar desposada por cualquier vejestorio que su pérfida madrastra considere adecuado. La solución parece clara… una unión de conveniencia entre ambos. La joven nunca ha imaginado casarse con un completo extraño, así que fija una condición inquebrantable: el matrimonio no se consumará hasta que no conozca mejor al hombre que se oculta tras ese bello rostro. Sin embargo, Charles puede ser muy persuasivo, y rápidamente Ellie se verá atrapada por sus encantos seductores. Con un beso que lleva a otro, ambos descubrirán que su matrimonio, al final, no es tan inconveniente como parecía y que tal vez, finalmente, les lleve a experimentar el amor verdadero.

Willig picks up where she left readers breathlessly hanging with 2005's The Secret History of the Pink Carnation. After discovering the identity of the Pink Carnation, one of England's most successful spies during the Napoleonic wars, modern-day graduate student Eloise Kelly is hot on the trail of the Black Tulip, the Pink Carnation's French counterpart. While researching the archives of dashing-but-grumpy Colin Selwick (a descendant of the Selwick spy family), Eloise learns that spy Purple Gentian (Richard Selwick) safely retired to the countryside; meanwhile, the Pink Carnation continues her mission with the help of Richard's younger sister. Spirited Henrietta Selwick discovers that the Black Tulip has resurfaced after a 10-year silence with the intent of eliminating the Pink Carnation. Miles Dorrington (Richard's best friend) works for the War Office and is directed to unearth the deadly spy. As he and Henrietta investigate, they try to deny their attraction for each other — and avoid becoming the Black Tulip's next victims. Hero and heroine can be quite silly, and there are overlong ballroom shenanigans aplenty; like last time, Eloise and Colin's will-they-won't-they dance isn't nearly as interesting as what takes place in 1803. No matter. Willig knows her audience; Regency purists may gnash their teeth in frustration, but many more will delight in this easy-to-read romp and line up for the next installment.
