Book description
Grace, raven-haired and delicately voluptuous, is plucked from the
Revolution-torn streets of Paris to be trained by Madame de Genlis, the
mistress of Philipe, the Duke of Orleans. The training is strict and
there are many occasions when Grace dreams of escape, but she is drawn
into the decadence and sensuality of the court. Passive and compliant by
nature, she cannot help but please those around her. Her beauty and
submissive ways attract the attention of Lord Fitzpatrick, and she
becomes his wife. Little does she know that her mysterious husband leads
a dangerous double life into which she cannot help but become embroiled.
Despite the spankings and humiliation Grace endures at the hands of
aristos and revolutionaries alike, she remains unspoilt. Even on the
steps of the guillotine her soft smile and revealing gown bring the mob
to mesmerised silence. But will the mysterious stranger known as the
Black Rose save her...? Grace, raven-haired and delicately voluptuous,
