Her fun and romantic stories, combined with a lively and fluid language, make Carina one of the most widely read and appreciated authors among those who love a good romance.
It's the reader's turn to get to know Valentina, Elisa Clarke's great friend, better.
A young woman disillusioned with love, but about to discover that life still has great—and wonderful—surprises in store for her. Instead of balls and romance, all she wants is to find a way to live with dignity away from her father and stepmother, whose hobby is making her life hell.
The opportunity arises with a marriage proposal. Almost past marriageable age, Valentina considers accepting. Her heart isn't set on the suitor, but she's not desperate for love. It would be a good match... if Captain Leon Navas hadn't crossed her path. The mysterious Spaniard is rude, irritating, and cheeky—not to mention handsome—and Valentina would be quite happy if she never saw him again.
But fate seems determined to reunite them, and after an embarrassing misunderstanding, she finds herself engaged to Leon, about whom she knows little except that her heart races every time their eyes meet and that irritation isn't the only feeling the captain evokes in her. Then Valentina suffers a terrible accident. Frightened, but determined to prove it wasn't a mere coincidence, she goes after the person responsible.
Between suspicions, disguises, secrets and setbacks, the girl ends up succumbing to the irresistible and devastating passion, without realizing that danger still lurks... Can a girl who is not at all enchanted live a fairy tale and get her happy ending?
