Synopsis

LE BAISER DE L'EUPHORBE
Il a pass� sa vie � se forger une armure. Elle a pass� la sienne � cultiver la douceur. Leur amour sera leur plus belle destruction.

R�SUM� :

John Marlborough a surv�cu � l'enfer. Enfant battu, il a fui un foyer violent pour se r�fugier dans l'arm�e, o� il est devenu une l�gende des forces sp�ciales. Aujourd'hui, � la t�te d'un empire de la s�curit�, il est un homme que l'on craint, que l'on admire, et que les femmes recherchent pour une nuit d'oubli. Il contr�le tout. Ses �motions, son entourage, son pass�. Il est un roc. Une forteresse.

Jusqu'� ce qu'il pousse la porte d'une petite boutique de fleurs � Kensington.

Elara Whitlock est fleuriste. Petite, fragile en apparence, elle poss�de cette force tranquille de celles qui ont appris � lire dans le silence des �tres. Elle voit sous la carapace de John. Elle voit l'enfant bless�, le soldat perdu, l'homme qui ne sait aimer que comme on fait la guerre. Et malgr� les avertissements, malgr� la violence qu'elle devine, elle l'aime.

Mais aimer John Marlborough, c'est accepter de danser avec ses d�mons. Ses nuits anonymes, ses mensonges, sa rage froide. Et quand la v�rit� �clate – le meurtre, la trahison, la folie – il est d�j� trop tard pour reculer.

Entre eux, il n'y aura que des �pines. Celles de l'euphorbe, cette plante magnifique et toxique qu'Elara lui a offerte, symbole de leur amour impossible. Un amour aussi beau que mortel. Un baiser v�n�neux dont on ne gu�rit pas.

CE QUE LES LECTEURS DISENT D�J� :

4/5 "Un roman noir et sensuel, port� par une �criture crue et des personnages inoubliables. On en sort lessiv�, hant�."

5/5 "John Marlborough restera longtemps dans vos nuits. Un antih�ros magnifique et terrifiant. Elara, la lumi�re qui aurait pu le sauver. Une trag�die moderne d'une beaut� d�chirante."

3/5 "Du lourd, du cru, du vrai. Une claque. On d�teste John, on l'aime, on veut le sauver, on veut le fuir. Et Elara... Elara est inoubliable."

4/5 "Si vous aimez les histoires d'amour qui finissent mal, les personnages complexes et les ambiances sombres, ce livre est pour vous."
