Lacemaker Vivienne Rivard never imagined her craft could
threaten her life. Yet in revolutionary France, it is a
death sentence when the nobility, and those associated with
them, are forced to the guillotine. Vivienne flees to
Philadelphia but finds the same dangers lurking in the
French Quarter, as revolutionary sympathizers threaten the
life of a young boy left in her care, who some suspect to be
the Dauphin. Can the French settlement, Azilum, offer
permanent refuge?
Militiaman Liam Delaney proudly served in the American
Revolution, but now that the new government has imposed an
oppressive tax that impacts his family, he barely recognizes
the democracy he fought for. He wants only to cultivate the
land of his hard-won farm near Azilum, but soon finds
himself drawn into the escalating tension of the Whiskey
Rebellion. When he meets a beautiful young Frenchwoman
recently arrived from Paris, they will be drawn together in
surprising ways to fight for the peace and safety for which
they long.
