Érase una vez que a cuatro Cuentacuentos increíbles…

Stephanie Laurens, Mary Balogh, Jacquie D’Alessandro y Candice Hern, se les ocurrió una deliciosa idea. ¿Y si cada una escribía una historia sobre una joven decente que se queda atrapada en una posada lejos de las restricciones de la sociedad? ¿Qué sucedería? ¿Y cuánto tardaría en sucumbir al deseo?

Y aunque la vida de cada una es muy diferente y sus pasados son absolutamente únicos, realizarán un descubrimiento común: que una noche puede cambiarlo todo… para siempre.
