More Description From war-torn England to the courts of France--a "sensual, exciting" historical romance by the New York Times-bestselling author (Romantic Times).
On her mother's advice, the virginal Lady Autumn Leslie trades the bleak future of her home in England, now embroiled in a brutal civil war, for France in hopes of finding a suitable match. The wealthy and handsome Marquis d'Auriville is all she can wish for in a husband, but when Autumn is widowed only a few years after they are wed, she believes she will never give her heart to another man.
Yet as two kings--Louis XIV and Charles II--boldly bid for her affections, Autumn is plunged into the heady world of court intrigue, where powerful men will not hesitate to use a beautiful woman for their own ends--or barter her for their own pleasure. Yet it is Gabriel Bainbridge, the Duke of Garwood, a face from Autumn's past, who is determined to become her passionate, and only, destiny.
