He was a notorious philanderer---perhaps even a murderer---but Minella could not get him out of her mind. From the moment that beautiful 18-year-old Minella Maddox saw Charles-Auguste, the haughty, arrogrant Comte Fontaine Delibes, his satanic looks thrilled her with a sense of danger and excitement. A French aristocrat of wealth and pwer, the Comte had a reputation for taking what he wanted, especially women. And right now he wanted Minealla. She was the most desirable thing he had ever seen. Minella was the woman he would marry, and nothing would be allowed to stand in his way...not even his wife. Suddenly, Minella was swept up in a nightmare of adultery, betrayal, and murder---as France seethed with revolt, and terror engulfed the land.
