Additional information
by Lucinda Brant (Author)
1740s France and England--the age of hedonism and enlightenment. Antonia must flee the Court of Versailles and the lascivious attention of the predatory Comte de Salvan. She orchestrates an escape with the unwitting assistance of the all-powerful Duke of Roxton, a man she's been warned against as too dangerous for her to know. Roxton is an unlikely savior--arrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia's unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing.
Winner of the $10,000 Woman's Day/Random House Romantic Fiction Prize, Readers' Favorite International Book Award Medalist, B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree, and a shortlisted finalist for Romance Writers of Australia Romantic Novel of the Year. A classic Beauty and the Beast tale, this award-winning historical is a homage to Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades.
