L'autore:
Celeste Bradley is the author of Fallen, which was nominated for a RITA in 2002. According to Bradley, the best thing about writing is that she finally gets to use the brain full of trivia she's collected over a lifetime of living in eight states, residing in over twenty homes, and changing her major five times. "It was research for my writing career! That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!" For now, she lives in Tennessee with her journalist husband, her two divas-in-training, and the smartest dog in the world. She is currently at work on her next book in The Liar's Club series.
Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:
"A charming heroine and a dashing spy hero make The Pretender a riveting read...entertained me thoroughly from beginning to end."
--Sabrina Jeffries, USA Today bestselling author of After the Abduction
Agatha looked as though she wanted to kill him. Simon watched as she visibly fought down her growing frustration and began again.
"Place one hand thus, Mr. Applequist. Then lightly-lightly, I say, not as though one is handling a coal shovel-lightly take the lady's hand, here, holding it precisely at shoulder height..."
Simon stopped listening. He was far more interested in watching her mouth move.
She was no classic beauty, but her snapping brown eyes and full lips combined with her fresh rosy complexion, making up a veritable recipe for appeal.
He especially liked her lips. They were highly colored, all of their own merit, and when she was nervous, such as now, the pretty Mrs. Applequist had a tendency to slide her tongue across them quickly.
There. She did it again. It made him ache a little more whenever she did so.
It occurred to Simon that he had never really seen her smile with those lips. She had made polite faces to her lady guests and been pleasant to her household, but he had yet to see her smile naturally.
He wanted to see that. Very badly...|"A charming heroine and a dashing spy hero make The Pretender a riveting read...entertained me thoroughly from beginning to end."
