About this ebook
The French Revolution comes to vivid life as the USA Today–bestselling author’s Devereux Trilogy continues. “A joy to read!” (RT Book Reviews).
As the newly appointed commissioner, Philippe Duhet has the power of life and death over the local French aristocracy. In return for her family’s safe passage out of the country, the breathtakingly lovely Claire Devereux agrees to be his mistress. She is to live in his luxurious quarters, to be seen with him about town, and to accommodate his desires whenever he wishes.
Claire surrendered her body to Duhet, but swore he’d never break her spirit. What she didn’t know was that the real Duhet had been abducted, and his American twin brother, Adam Dillon, was installed in his place as a spy. And she was devastated to find that her body was not at all immune to the pleasures of Duhet’s caress, nor her heart to his intoxicating company.
“I consider Elizabeth Thornton a major find.” —Mary Balogh, New York Times–bestselling author of the Westcott Novels

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The main characters seem to lack appreciable moral depth. Surely, we have greater standards and expectations.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5According to this author, men will cheat and women need to forgive them immediately. Women should never demand from their men fidelity and loyalty, but men will always demand it of women and that’s okay.
But seriously, it’s not okay. And all I kept thinking was poor Claire. Poor Sarah. But neither of them thought they deserved better.
