Description
Escape to the Caribbean in this tension-filled compromised-into-marriage story!
When heiress Paulina Despradel is banished from the family quinta in a storm, she seeks shelter with her dashing new neighbor, Sebastian Linares. Their attraction may be as electrifying as the lightning outside, but the night they spend together is totally innocent. Barely more than strangers, they must now marry. But left alone with their simmering chemistry, can they build a true union from the ashes of scandal?
From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.
Marketing Plan
With Dominican characters and setting, Lydia San Andres based the concept of this novel on a true story! In her words, "Not too long ago, while perusing 19th-century documents in the Dominican Republic's national archives, I came across a fascinating account of a man who had been forced to sign a marriage contract under the threat of imprisonment…this kernel became the basis for Sebastian and Paulina's story." Set in San Pedro de Macoris, a city two hours away from where the author lived herself, Lydia takes us back to the 19th century "Sugartown," when a storm causes our protagonists to seek shelter together overnight, with the resulting scandal changing the course of their lives forever.
Tropes: Forced proximity, marriage of convenience, friends to lovers

I'm a big Lydia San Andres fan who made the terrible mistake of binge-reading her entire oeuvre during the first six weeks of the pandemic. Then I spent the next eighteen months wondering when she would come out with a new book...and then I heard about this book, and I checked NetGalley darn near every day in the hopes of getting my hands on it. I'm delighted to report that it more than lives up to the promise of the excellent title and gorgeous cover. The writing is lovely, the setting vivid, the characters lovable, the romance both emotional and spicy. I loved Paulina immediately (so spirited! so kind!), and it was a treat watching Sebastian try his darnedest not to fall for his wife. I'll be recommending this for purchase at the library and getting a copy for my own collection, too. I hope there are many, many more Harlequin Historicals in Ms. San Andres' future!
Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
