Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right - I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy. As the daughter of Briar’s head hockey coach, I’d be vilified if I hooked up with a player from a rival team. And that’s who Jake Connelly is. Harvard’s star forward is arrogant, annoying, and too attractive for his own good. But fate is cruel - I require his help to secure a much-coveted internship, and the sexy jerk isn’t making it easy for me.

Meu marido proibido. Beijei o melhor amigo do meu pai, e meio que não deu certo. Não só porque ele é dezoito anos mais velho que eu, mas porque ele não gostou. Nem um pouco. Em minha defesa, eu não queria me apaixonar por ele. Só que aconteceu. Nathaniel Weaver é o homem mais atraente que já vi, com um carisma suficiente para cegar o sol. Ele é grandioso, dono de metade do mundo e conquistador da outra metade. Ele era proibido. Errado. Então eu o superei por completo. Ou foi o que eu disse a mim mesma. Até sermos forçados a nos casar. Agora estou presa. Mas talvez ele também esteja preso.

Mal sabia eu que não sou, de fato, responsável. Por que o estranho que deixei na cama? Sim, ele não é um estranho, afinal. Ele é meu novo chefe. Knox Van Doren pode ter um sorriso encantador, mas um verdadeiro vilão se esconde por trás de tudo.

Um desgraçado cruel. Um demônio sem coração. E o mais importante: o pai da minha filha. Ah, e ele me odeia tanto quanto eu o odeio. Estamos tentando destruir um ao outro com todos os métodos à disposição.

"As nearly perfect as any American fiction I know," is how Reynolds Price ( The New York Times) described this classic that has been a favorite of readers, both here and in Europe, for almost forty years. Set in provincial France in the 1960s, it is the intensely carnal story - part shocking reality, part feverish dream - of a love affair between a footloose Yale dropout and a young French girl.
