After all, Lilah isn’t staying… Soon, Max is imagining just that, though--wondering what it would be like to have her on his land, in his life, in his bed forever. For that, he’s going to need to tell her the truth…and hope he can convince her that he’s a duke worth falling for.

Explosiva (Hell's Belles 3)
O regresso de Sarah MacLean a uma série sensual, feminista, cheia de heroínas brilhantes e corajosas Com o seu indomável cabelo encaracolado, a mente povoada por ideias selvagens e um ousado amor por experiências e explosivos, Lady Imogen Loveless é vista pela alta sociedade londrina como alguém muito... particular — e isto sem se saber que faz parte das Hell''s Belles, um grupo de mulheres que tentam corrigir pelas próprias mãos as injustiças que as rodeiam. Thomas Peck, por sua vez, não faz parte dessa alta sociedade. Vindo de um contexto difícil, alcançou uma promissora carreira de investigador criminal unicamente graças à sua força de vontade e capacidade de ver o que escapa aos outros, tal como o facto de Imogen não ser muito particular, mas sim o caos total. Um caos que necessita de alguém que o vigie, algo com que a família dela concorda plenamente. E ainda que Thomas não tenha grande interesse em assumir esse papel, existem, no entanto, trabalhos demasiado explosivos para serem ignorados, e não tardará até que o investigador se veja envolvido pelo mundo de Imogen, pelo seu sorriso audaz, segredos ardentes... e uma paixão fogosa que ameaça consumi-los a ambos. Os elogios da crítica: «O romance histórico de que andava à procura.» Cosmopolitan «Sarah MacLean acerta em cheio em tudo o que faz.» Booklist «Sarah MacLean é especialista em fazer comentário social em romances carregados de aventuras e cenas românticas escaldantes. Pura e simplesmente, ninguém escreve romance histórico como ela.» Entertainment Weekly «Excitante e repleto de perigo... Sarah MacLean é excecional na construção de personagens que sabem quem são e aquilo que defendem.» Library Journal «A sempre brilhante Sarah MacLean recorre a toda a sua destreza literária de modo a oferecer-nos uma heroína muito pouco convencional e um herói tradicional, cujos esforços combinados em nome da justiça resultam numa atração sensual e num enredo poderoso com o qual os leitores do século XXI se conseguirão identificar.» Booklist «Sarah MacLean proporciona-nos muita ação, cenas escaldantes, emoções profundas e uma astuta crítica aos poderosos e privilegiados, tudo isto numa história explosiva que fará com que os leitores não sejam capazes de pousar o livro.» Kirkus Reviews
