Dívka z jiné doby


Rebecca, studentka egyptologie a vášnivá čtenářka regentských romancí, se ráda účastní historických rekonstrukcí a během jedné z nich se přihodí něco nevysvětlitelného: ocitne se v Londýně roku 1816. Navíc se zde stala nejžádanější debutantkou mezi starými mládenci z vyšší společnosti. Při hledání svého pana Darcyho však upoutá pozornost té nejméně žádoucí partie: korzára Reedlana Knoxe, muže s temným šarmem a přinejmenším skandální pověstí. A s takovým by se slušná mladá dáma opravdu stýkat neměla. Když však Rebecca odhalí jistá tajemství a podezřelé spiknutí šlechty, její smysl pro spravedlnost ji nutí jednat. Jenže nikdo není ochoten riskovat svou čest, aby jí pomohl. Nezbývá jí než se obrátit na jediného možného člověka: Reedlana Knoxe. Jenže co když se nakonec ukáže, že korzár je zajímavější než gentleman, o kterém Rebecca vždycky snila? A neměla by se raději vrátit do současnosti?
