Virginia Coffman's new novel uniquely evokes the contrasting worlds of elegant Regency England and the turbulence of France on the eve of the return of Napoleon Bonaparte from Elba. Center stage is lovely eighteen-year-old Marsanne de Vaudraye, who finds her life in jeopardy to forces set on usurping her inheritance of precious ancestral holdings. Dispatched to the presumed safety of Royalist relatives and their splendid manor house outside London, Marsanne is quickly thrust into cross-currents of intrigue and deceit, high romance and base plots. And stage center to these is the remarkably omnipresent Sir Philip Justin, who seems determined to link his destiny to hers. Sir Philip's unexplained familiarity with smugglers and pirates, as well as his secret involvement with one of all history's most dramatic events, makes him singularly dangerous to a young woman such as Marsanne. As dangerous as her newly awakened heart, which dictates the question: to trust him or not? Her answer will determine not only her own fate and his, but the tide of forces beyond her most expansive imaginings. - Jacket flap.
