Four years later, he still hasn't found his sister, and the repercussions of his decision are catching up with him. But he fears it might be too late to turn back now. The daughter of a French mother and a wealthy English earl, Lizabeth survived in the womb when her twin brother did not. Believed by her family to be cursed, she has grown up shamed and unloved, locked away in her father's estate. That is, until Lizabeth's mother strikes a deal of her own. If Lizabeth travels to Versailles and kills L'Ange de la Mort, she'll be granted her freedom. At the palace, Gabriel and Lizabeth fall headfirst into love, neither of them knowing the other's secret. Amid lavish court life, Lizabeth desperately searches for the identity of L'Ange de la Mort while Gabriel searches for the person rumored to want him dead. And when the truth is finally revealed, they discover they've become entrapped in a plot bigger than either of them could have imagined.

45 parts Complete Mature
COMPLETE "You are... alluring, mademoiselle" he murmured, his voice shaky. "But understand I... I am not accustomed to such liberties." "Why not join us, then? If you are so concerned with the propriety of it all, perhaps you'd prefer to partake... in something a little less restrained." ... Daphne de la Rochefleur was a woman ahead of her time, navigating the rigid conventions of 18th-century French aristocracy with wit, sex-appeal, and an unyielding spirit. Through her defiance, she marries Pierre de Villeroy Count of Fontainebleau , a powerful and enigmatic Count, in a match designed to secure her status after she has been shunned by her family. Their union was marked by scandal, passion, and a struggle for influence in a world where women were expected to remain silent. Daphne's story is one of resilience as she faced the social backlash of her husband's desires... being a cuck for his wife. Through the backlash, Daphne finds herself in a web of courtly rivalries, French Revolution and fights to carve out her own place in high society. Despite being overshadowed by the men who sought to control her fate, she wielded her own form of power-through social maneuvering, intelligence, and the power that is between her legs.
