About this ebook

France, the Barbary Coast, Italy, in the early 1700s was a mans world. A daughter of French nobility, a bored Anna-Marie agrees to fill in for a friend, performing in Marseille as an eastern dancer. She forces herself upon the man of her dreams but finds true love and erotic passion with a Prince of another world. Kidnapped from his arms, she escapes in the crowded seaport of Naples.


Desperate to elude her pursuers, she becomes a model for an Italian Duke, a painter of erotic art. Fulfilling her part of the bargain, she is promised an escort home. She is, instead, sold to a band of gypsies. Beauty is moonlight and jasmine. Beauty is a curse. The saga continues from Unbreak My Heart.

Author

Lucia Bruels

History, tall ships, travel, books - all vie for first love with Lucia Bruels.  Retired from an information technology career she enjoys all things French, all things historical, especially if set in the 1700’s. She became interested in writing while doing family genealogy. After all, nothing is as intriguing as real life; add a bit of sugar and spice and you have a tantalizing tale.  Her heros are always alpha males -  though they may have wounds to heal. Her ladies are  ready to love and be loved - and usually not so proper. Duels, sizzling affairs, tidbits of history, all intertwined for tales you won’t want to put down. Lucia lives in South Carolina with her physicist husband.
