The Chronicles Of Narnia The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

Quand l’amour frappe à la porte, peut-on vraiment oublier la douleur ? Cassandra Bellamy, brillante et richissime héritière au cœur blessé, a tourné le dos à l’amour depuis qu’une trahison a laissé en elle des cicatrices profondes. Forte, indépendante, mais secrètement vulnérable, elle consacre sa vie à réussir... jusqu’au jour où le destin la confronte à Nolan Cruz, un inconnu aussi séduisant qu’énigmatique, son regard intense. Sa voix rauque. Sa façon de lui parler comme si elle était la seule femme au monde. Avec lui, chaque geste devient une caresse, chaque silence une invitation. Mais Nolan, lui aussi, cache ses cicatrices. Et entre eux, le désir monte, lentement… dangereusement. Entre eux, l’attirance est immédiate, brûlante, mais aucun des deux n’est prêt à se livrer. Entre silences, blessures anciennes et passions incontrôlables, ils vont devoir choisir : se protéger ou se laisser guérir par l’autre. Dans ce jeu de peaux et de confidences, ils vont s’apprivoiser, se dévoiler, s’effleurer... jusqu’à ce que leurs blessures s’ouvrent à nouveau — pour peut-être mieux guérir. Et si l’amour naissait justement là où ça faisait mal ? Dans ce voyage entre douleur et désir, les cœurs marqués oseront-ils s’aimer à nouveau… ?

My pack was slaughtered. But my fated mate Ethan turned his back on me, choosing another she-wolf, Lyra. In my darkest hour, his brother, Alpha Caden, claimed me. He promised me safety. Vengeance. A home. For three years, I was his Luna. I thought I was safe. Then I learned the truth. "You've hidden the evidence for three years, Alpha. You know Lyra was behind the Dawn Moon slaughter. What happens when your Luna finds out?" Caden’s reply shattered my world. "I have to protect Lyra. Even though she chose my brother, I need her to be happy. As for Selena, making her my Luna is compensation enough." My legs went weak. I almost collapsed, sobbing. The monster who killed my family was right beside me all along.

Enfants, elles pensaient que leurs dons de médiums n'étaient que des bizarreries, des murmures d'esprits curieux. Mais une séance de ouija, qui tourne mal, déchire le voile entre les mondes.

C'est un retour aux sources pour comprendre leurs propres peurs et leurs propres forces.
