Terrosa, Extremadura, agosto de 1850.
Un calor sofocante y despiadado.
Una mujer que aguarda la llegada de un carruaje.
Un viajero que cambiará el futuro del pueblo.
Hace tiempo que Candela asumió que nunca obtendría el amor de su padre, Bernardo Salazar, el hombre al que más admira y al que más le gustaría odiar. Ahora solo desea casarse con la persona que ella ya ha elegido, llenar por fin esa necesidad de afecto y vivir para siempre en Terrosa mientras disfruta de un futuro que imagina tranquilo y feliz.
Sin embargo, todo se tuerce cuando su padre regresa de su estancia en Inglaterra de forma precipitada al pueblo y le presenta al inglés con quien ha acordado su matrimonio. Lord William Caldecourt, décimo conde de Waldwick, llega a Terrosa con la intención de ponerlo todo patas arriba. Es un ser despiadado que está dispuesto a terminar con una larga venganza. O eso se repite a menudo, pues es lo que le juró a su madre y así se lo reclama el recuerdo de su familia, destruida por Bernardo Salazar.
Pero, para su desdicha, desde que contempló el hermoso rostro de Candela en un daguerrotipo, vive pensando que quizá esa mujer que era solo el instrumento para lograr su venganza pueda convertirse en la persona que le libere de los oscuros designios del destino.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A historical novel marked by passion and revenge, set in nineteenth-century Spain and England, about a rich heiress and a man willing to go to any lengths to seize her estate.
Terrosa, Extremadura, August 1850.
Suffocating and merciless heat.
A woman awaiting the arrival of a carriage.
A traveler who will change the town's future.
Candela has long been resigned to failing to win the love of her father, Bernardo Salazar, the man she most admires and would most love to hate. All she dreams of now is marrying a man of her own choosing, finally fulfilling her need for affection and enjoying a content and peaceful life in Terrosa.
Her plans are thwarted when her father returns unexpectedly from his travels in England to introduce her to the man to whom he has promised her in marriage. Lord William Caldecourt, tenth Earl of Waldwick, arrives in Terrosa determined to make trouble and settle an old score. At least, that's what he tells everyone, having promised his mother to reclaim the memory of his family, which Bernardo Salazar destroyed.
To his dismay, however, ever since seeing Candela's face in a daguerreotype, he suspects that the woman he considered a pawn in his plans for revenge could be the one person to free him from the dark designs of fate.
