Romance Historical

A Desperate Bargain

To save her family from the guillotine, proud Claire Deveraux would do anythingโ€”even strike a devilโ€™s bargain with the ruthless new commissioner, Phillipe Duhet. Though an innocent, the breathtaking beauty has no illusions about what she has just promisedโ€ฆto surrender herself, body and soul, and become sensual prisoner to Duhetโ€™s every whim of pleasureโ€ฆ

A Daring Deception

American spy Adam Dillon has spent his life vowing revenge on his half-brother, Phillipe Duhet, and now his plan is in motion. After abducting the sadistic tyrant and assuming his identity, Adam is prepared for any manner of dangerโ€”but nothing could prepare him for the sight of the fiery, and quite undressed, beauty alone in his bedchamberโ€ฆ or for the fury that fills her green eyesโ€ฆ

An Undeniable Desire

Now, with treachery and deceit shadowing the streets of Franceโ€”from darkened taverns to dazzling partiesโ€”two souls will be caught up in the sweep of historyโ€ฆand in a spiral of passion that neither wants to escapeโ€ฆ
