Author Karen Harbaugh returns to the dark, sensual world of
her acclaimed novel Night Firesβ¦a world of danger and
desire, sorcery and seductionβ¦the glorious world of the
beautiful, doomed de la Fer family. For here, the ravishing
fugitive Catherine de la Fer battles the deadliest sorcery
of all: the seductive power of one manβs endlessly erotic
touch.
A shattering act of violence drives Catherine de la Fer
to flee into the dark and deadly night. Now a hunted
criminal, the wily French noblewoman enlists the services
of English mercenary Jack Marstone to teach her the art of
self-defense. But she has cast her lot with a man whose
terrible secret plunges them into a world of depravity and
deadly seduction. Their taboo desire takes them from the
moon-shadowed highways of Paris to the treacherous palace
of the Sun Kingβthe prey of a highborn enemy with the mind-
bending powers of a sorcererβs dark arts. As day becomes
endless night, as they enter a place of unimaginable
pleasure, Franceβs most notorious swordswoman and her
forbidden lover will attempt a daring act of rescueβone
that could promise them eternity in each otherβs armsβ¦or
damn them both forever.
