Synopsis "Jaque al Corazon (in Spanish)"
Raphael Rafe Locke, apuesto heredero de un ducado, dueño de una riqueza sin igual y perseguido por todas las jovenes de Inglaterra, prefiere cazar a ser cazado. Detesta a Ophelia Reid, hija de un conde, apenas la conoce, porque la hermosa joven, que le parece una trepadora social, flirtea con el descaradamente. Cuando luego la encuentra llorando y la consuela entre sus brazos, empieza a pensar que quizas no sea tan mala despues de todo. Cuando un amigo declara que Ophelia nunca llegara a ser mas que una bonita arpia, pero arpia al fin, Rafel se compromete a tratar de hacer de ella una gentil dama que un dia encontrara al hombre adecuado y sentara cabeza. Con permiso de los padres de Ophelia, cuya mayor ambicion es ascender en la escala social, Rafe lleva a Ophelia y a su chaperona a una de sus propiedades en la campiña. Ophelia esta furiosa y desconfia de los motivos de el, que no cesa de señalarle sus errores. Rafe descubrira las razones del mal comportamiento de Ophelia, mientras esta se ira convirtiendo poco a poco en la dama que debe ser. Una vez ""enderezada"", Rafa la reintroduce en la alta sociedad londinense. Mientras Ophelia cosecha una propuesta de matrimonio tras otra, Rafa se da cuenta, quizas demasiado tarde, de que se ha enamorado de ella. / Ophelia Reid may be the most beautiful woman in England, but she is also the most ill-tempered and self-centered. At least that is the conclusion Raphael Locke, Viscount Lynnfield, reaches when Ophelia breaks her engagement, again, to his friend Duncan. Rafe decides someone needs to teach Ophelia a lesson in manners, and so, after betting Duncan that he can reform the shrewish harridan, Rafe ""kidnaps"" Ophelia, and takes her, along with his aunt Esmeralda, to his estate in a remote corner of Northumberland. But Ophelia isn't the only one learning a lesson, when Rafe, who has successfully avoided the matchmaking clutches of the town's most determined mothers, discovers he isn't quite as immune to the idea of love as he thought. In her latest elegantly sensual Regency historical, Lindsey deftly brews up a particularly potent blend of sexy chemistry between her expertly matched hero and heroine while skillfully constructing a neat and witty plot.
