With elements of a coming-of-age story and philosophical observations, this romantic novel appeals to a wide range of audiences, engaging readers with its eclectic genre and themes that prove to still be relatable to a contemporary audience.
This edition of Benjamin Constant's Adolphe is perfect for a modern reader. With an eye-catching cover design and a stylish font, Adolphe by Benjamin Constant has been restored for the 21st century.

Описание:
USA Today bestselling author Linda Needham crafts a passionate tale of Beauty and the Beast in this mismatched, marriage-of-convenience between a dark and brooding financier, and a free-spirited travel-writer.
Felicity Mayfield has no choice: marry cold-hearted financier, Hunter Claybourne, or he will throw her into Victorian London's most notorious debtor's prison for the crimes committed against him by her uncle. But before she agrees, she proposes a bargain: she'll become his wife, in name only for one brief year-if he allows her the freedom to continue living an independent life as a roving travel writer.
Hunter never suspected a wife could be such a nuisance. The marriage-of-convenience was supposed to be a simple business arrangement. Instead, she invades his cavernous home, rearranges the furniture, wins over his servants, and blinds him with her sunlight. Her constant presence is unsettling, her lavender scent enchanting, her skin a soft temptation. Suddenly it seems only right that she should wear his ring...and share his bed. After all, she is his wife. Yet even as Felicity opens a chink in Hunter's heart, her expos of the scandalous workhouses threatens to uncover his darkest secret, forcing him to choose between his hard-won empire and the miracle of love.

Описание:
Once upon a time there was a very bad boy...
Ethan Jagger will do anything to leave his illicit past behind and take his place as a gentleman in Society. Success is within his grasp until his boss discovers his double cross and frames him for murder. As if running from the law and the outlaws weren't bad enough, he must protect an innocent young lady from the very cut-throats who want him dead. Worst of all, however, is the dangerous attraction that sparks between them.
Who met a very nice girl...
London only thinks of Audrey Cheswick as a wallflower--if they even think of her at all. She's tried to find satisfaction--if not happiness--as a spinster-in-waiting, though her intrepid spirit yearns for a grand adventure. But when she runs away with England's most wanted criminal, she learns adventure comes with a price--not just her reputation or her virtue, but her heart.
Sometimes to find your future, you must look to the past...
Katherine Wakefield has dreamed and written of her knight in shining armor all her life. Never finding a man to measure up to the one of her imagination, she and her three closest friends take a dream vacation to England. Yet, strange things begin happening while visiting Bamburgh Castle, but how could they have known they'd find themselves thrown back more than eight hundred years into the past?
Riorden de Deveraux travels to Bamburgh answering the summons of King Henry II knowing his past life is about to catch up with him. But nothing prepares him for the beautiful vision of a strangely clad ghost who first appears in his chamber, let alone the fact he begins having a conversation with her.
Centuries are keeping them apart until Time gives them a chance at finding love. But there are obstacles threatening the fragile bit of hope that Riorden and Katherine can remain together. Will the past of one consume what their future may hold, or will Time take the decision from them and hurdle Katherine forward to where she truly belongs?
