As a child, Lydia Pallas became all too familiar with uncertainty when it came to the future. Now, she's finally carved out a perfect life for herself--a life of stability and order with no changes, surprises, or chaos of any kind. She adores her apartment overlooking the bustling Boston Harbor, and her skill with languages has landed her a secure position as a translator for the U.S. Navy.

However, it is her talent for translation that brings her into contact with Alexander Banebridge, or "Bane," a man who equally attracts and aggravates her. When Bane hires Lydia to translate a seemingly innocuous collection of European documents, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover she is in over her head.

Just as Bane's charm begins to win her over, Lydia learns he is driven by a secret campaign against some of the most dangerous criminals on the East Coast, compelled by his faith and his past. Bane forbids any involvement on Lydia's part, but when the criminals gain the upper hand, it is Lydia on whom he must depend.

Um dos melhores casais de todos os tempos

Só Deus sabe o quanto eu amo essa história.
Lydia cresceu órfã e sozinha no mundo, sua única segurança é a casa que conseguiu conquistar com muito esforço. Quando Benny aparece em sua vida tudo fica mais doce, porém ele tem apenas uma certeza: eles nunca poderão ficar juntos.
Eu chorei horrores com o coração partido da Lydia, mas a certeza de que mesmo com tudo contra os dois o amor e respeito um pelo outro sempre iria prevalecer, me fez amar ainda mais cada um dos personagens.
Há muita aventura, atitudes inteligentes, fé e um dos melhores romances que já li. Eu poderia recomendar esse livro para sempre.
