Petals in the Storm (Fallen Angels) Author:Mary Jo Putney
Book Description:
SINS AND SECRETS A cool master of sensuality, Rafe Whitbourne, Duke of Candover, earned his rakish reputation in the silken boudoirs of England's aristocracy, never giving away his hand or his heart. Then a vital mission for a friend takes him to Paris to work with Countess Magda Janos, "the most beautiful spy in Europe." To his shock, the smoky-eyed temptress is no countess, but the deceitful tart who betrayed him a dozen years before -- the only woman he had ever loved, and the only woman he had ever despised. Margot Aston wants nothing more than to forget her turbulent past and the mesmerizing man who had cruelly wronged her. But patriotism binds the two together in a shadowland of intrigue where a dangerous plot may plunge a continent into war... and a whirlwind of passion sweeps them into a shattering love that cannot be denied.
Set in opulent 19th-century France, here is the epic tale of Rafael Whitbourne, the Duke of Candover, and beautiful spy Countess Magda Janos. United to uncover a court assassination, Rafael is shocked to learn that Magda is a woman he loved 15 years before and had thought dead.
