Il s'agit du 2ème volume de la série Les Ravenels qui sortira bientôt en français sous le titre : Une orchidée pour un parvenu.
Les fiançailles entre Lady Helen Ravenel et Rhys Winterborne ont été rompues suite à l'intervention de sa belle-soeur Lady Kathleen. Helen se rend donc au bureau du Gallois ténébreux (cela change des Ecossais ^^) pour tenter de le convaincre de la reprendre. Il résiste un peu mais il ne va pas pouvoir lutter longtemps contre son attirance pour elle.
Comme de bien entendu ils vont devoir surmonter bien des obstacles. Blessé du rejet d'Helen, Rhys a (à la fin du volume précédent) insulté Kathleen (qui a entre-temps épousé Devon) et donc il va d'abord devoir se rabibocher avec son vieil ami. Ensuite, un certain Albion Vance va tout remettre en question...
Bonne petite romance comme je les aime :-)

There was no thought, no will, nothing but a sensuous tangle of darkness and desire, while Mr. Winterborne kissed her with such blind, ravening intensity that she could almost feel his soul calling into her.
"I don't," Pandora said. "I can think of a hundred things better than kissing. Decorating for Christmas, petting the dogs, extra butter on the crumpets, having someone scratch the itch on you back that you can't reach-"
"You haven't tried kissing," Cassandra told her. "You might like it. Helen does."
"Helen likes Brussels sprouts. How can anyone trust her opinion?"
