Alayna Bordreaux was a testament to one of the bloodiest revolutions of all time- the French Revolution. She watches in horror as the acclaimed mistress of death steals everyone she loves- the guillotine. Finally, toting one more burden in the form of a secret to peaceful, haven-like England, Alayna is taken in by a dying, kindly old man, thinking she will live her life as his nurse. But she is wrong. 
   Alexander Pembroke is a man of many dark sins, and after his father passes away, he finds that many vexing responsibilities fall into his lap- one in particular, a meek but lovely young woman who seems to attract danger- as well as himself. 
  Will they find love, or is it fate that finds them first?

In the glittering yet merciless world of the English aristocracy, Evangeline Montague-Pembroke is a woman both admired and condemned. A mulâtresse born into nobility, she has been raised by her uncle, shadowed by past tragedies and bound by duty to restore her family's legacy. As she steps into society as a debutante, her beauty is undeniable-but it is her honeyed skin and foreign features that invite whispers instead of proposals. Despite the murmurs, Evangeline is determined to secure a wealthy and respectable husband, a man who will look beyond the scandal of her birth and help her fulfill her late father's final wish. On the other end of the ballroom, Lawrence Ellsworth, the Duke of Appleton, has no such romantic aspirations. A man of duty and unapologetic indulgence, he prefers his world structured by land, estate, and the occasional company of women who require nothing more than a fleeting night. His mother, however, has different plans-plans that involve a love match for her son. Lawrence at last surrendered to his mother's wishes to see him married , conceding that a refined, porcelain-skinned lady of noble birth and impeccable manners was the final obligation he must fulfill as the Duke of Appleton. But fate is rarely so obedient. As Evangeline and Lawrence cross paths in a world dictated by rules, lineage, and whispered betrayals, they soon realize that neither duty nor reason holds power over the heart. And when hearts begin to beat against the walls of propriety, scandal is never far behind...

{Wattys 2018 Winner - The Contemporaries} Versailles, France 1789: Where the only things more prevalent than opulence and wealth, are secrets. At the dawn of the French Revolution, Paris is divided. In the glittering palace of Versailles, courtiers party without a care in the world, but in the city, people must fight to stay alive. Eighteen-year-old courtier Gabriel de la Marche is part of both worlds. When Gabriel was fourteen, his older sister went missing, and desperation for answers led him to strike a deal with an underground organization of assassins-they would use their connections to help Gabriel find his sister, if Gabriel agreed to kill members of nobility under the alias L'Ange de la Mort. 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. One which could change all of France. stunning cover by storms_and_seas! aesthetics by makovea!
