Portugal, 1756: Doroteia Da Costa must to marry the Marquis Armando Silva. The wedding was planned by her parents but she is not convinced of being truly in love with Armando. He is, infact, rich, too rich, and very nice, but he has no attention to her. When at an entertainment during a ball she meets the Marquis Rodrigo Barros, she decides that she wants from him more than a friendship. Alzira, her best friend, will do anything to distract her from that sentiment. When Doroteia understands that she has all against her, she thinks that she could no longer live without him! But not all that glitters is gold... -------------------------------------------------- Buying or downloading this book you donate 50 cents to the IHP ASSOCIATION for the safe of maltreated horses www.horseprotection.it THANKS my blog www.italianromances.wordpress.com
