Weer een heerlijk romantisch boek van Danielle Steel dat je niet snel vergeet.
A married woman falls in love with a stranger.
Rafaela no había previsto la perfidia de Kay, la ambiciosa hermana de Alex. Kay odiab a Rafaela, pues ésta le había quitado el cariño de su hija Amanda, adolescente traumatizada por una violación. Para reconquistar a su hija, Kay estaba dispuesta a destruir el idilio clandestino.
La seducente e ricca Raphaella de Morny-Malle sposa
giovanissima un facoltoso finanziere più anziano di lei.
Ma dopo un breve periodo di tenerezza e comprensione,
l'uomo viene colpito da paralisi e Raphaella sembra
destinata a una vita di doverosa assistenza...
finché non incontra l'affascinante Alex, reduce da un
matrimonio fallito. Tra i due nasce un bellissimo amore,
che una sorella meschina e un padre ipocrita e
autoritario minacciano però di distruggere. Un romanzo
di intense emozioni, ricco di sentimento e calore umano.
