Rosemary Rogers

    7 dicembre 1932 – 12 novembre 2019

    Rosemary Rogers è stata un'autrice i cui vasti romanzi erano rinomati per la loro intensità e passione. Le sue opere attingevano spesso all'esperienza personale, da un'infanzia privilegiata nello Sri Lanka a lotte per l'autosufficienza in California. Scriveva di eroine che erano, in sostanza, lei stessa, e le cui storie rispecchiavano i suoi desideri di cultura, spirito e sesso. La sua capacità di catturare il potere dell'emozione l'ha resa una leggenda nel genere del romanzo storico.

    • Marisa, una bellezza acerba e ribelle, fa perdere la testa a nobili e principi nell'Europa tormentata dalle guerre napoleoniche. Pur di assaporare la vita fino in fondo, è disposta a pagare di persona, e subirà per questo il marchio dell'infamia, il giglio impresso nella carne delle prostitute. Solo un uomo sembra in grado di tenerle testa, l'avventuriero senza scrupoli che l'ha resa donna e che la insegue dall'harem di un sultano alla corte di parigi fino alle selvagge distese della Louisiana.

      Le avventure della bella Lady Rowena dagli occhi azzurri e dal cuore ribelle attraverso tre continenti. Dall'India esotica del dominio inglese alla frivola corte londinese, alla dura vita di frontiera del Nuovo Mexico, dove la passione si fa bruciante come il sole che tormenta la prateria. In una natura ostile, fra antichi rancori, ripicche e tradimenti e sotto la minaccia costante degli apaches, Rowena conoscerà uomini diversi prima che il suo cuore selvaggio prenda a battere più forte al ritmo dell'amore vero.

      SURRENDER TO LOVE Under the midnight moon of Ceylon, on the night of her debutante ball at the Governor's palace, Alexa Howard met her cousin, Nicholas Dameron. And in the sardonic curl of his hard, sensuous lips, in the commanding arrogance of his eyes, Alexa beheld the fierce, implacable passion that would render her helpless to the trembling slavery of desire. EVERY KIND OF LOVE A WOMAN CAN BE MADE TO FEEL Within the golden softness of Alexa's alluring gentility flowed the insatiable fires of an innocent woman's awakening to love --- and the fury of a betrayed woman's lust for revenge. Through the nightworlds of Naples, Rome, Paris and London, she was pursued by the man who heartlessly wanted her beauty. But her soul was possessed by the man whose touch was unbearable ecstasy, whose cruelty was ravishing torment, whose tenderness was passion's fulfillment. Nicholas Dameron had taken her virtue and mocked her pride. But his love was the offering of every pleasure a woman has ever dared to dream of.
