Sabine Laurent first met Jules de Moutier as a young girl
when her family ran a popular and prestigious theater. The
handsome heir of the Marquis de Blainville was as
unattainable as the stars in the heavens, but Sabine prayed
the man she called her dark prince would one day be hers.
Years later, Sabine and her family lost their theater and
were plunged into poverty during France's civil war. After
Sabine's father dies, Sabine and her relatives face going
to debtor's prison if taxes owed to the crown are not
payed. Much to Sabine's astonishment, she overhears two men
discussing a great fortune stolen from Spanish ships. Sabine
is determined to steal the money to save her family. When
her skills as an actress gain her entry into the camp of
the men who hold the treasure, Sabine is stunned to
discover her dark prince is the man she must betray.
Sabine spent countless hours daydreaming of Jules as a
young girl, but that was before Jules' father impoverished
her family, forced them to sell them their land, and then
saddled them with outrageous taxes which they can never
hope to pay. Sabine's twin sister, Isabelle, also
mysteriously vanished while working for the du Moutier
family. Although Jules' father sent Sabine and her family a
heartless note declaring Isabelle died in a fire, Sabine
believes her sister is alive somewhere. Jules is no longer
her prince charming, but her sworn enemy who she is
determined to steal from as he once stole from her family.
Jules de Moutier, however, is no longer the heir to the
Moutier fortune. Jules' father was executed as a traitor
against the king during the civil war. Jules and his
brother were both stripped of their titles and lands. Now
Jules' only hope of avenging his father's death and
regaining his place in society rests with the Spanish
fortune he acquired.
Sabine plans to seduce her way near the treasure by
presenting herself as a whore named Elise Marquette. But
Sabine's plans go horribly wrong when she is unable to
resist Jules's touch. As Sabine spends more time with Jules,
her old infatuation begins to resurface. Must Sabine betray
the man of her dreams in order to save her family?
