The French Revolution comes to vivid life as the USA Todayâbestselling authorâs Devereux Trilogy continues. âA joy to read!â (RT Book Reviews).
Â
As the newly appointed commissioner, Philippe Duhet has the power of life and death over the local French aristocracy. In return for her familyâs safe passage out of the country, the breathtakingly lovely Claire Devereux agrees to be his mistress. She is to live in his luxurious quarters, to be seen with him about town, and to accommodate his desires whenever he wishes.
Â
Claire surrendered her body to Duhet, but swore heâd never break her spirit. What she didnât know was that the real Duhet had been abducted, and his American twin brother, Adam Dillon, was installed in his place as a spy. And she was devastated to find that her body was not at all immune to the pleasures of Duhetâs caress, nor her heart to his intoxicating company.
