As the Reign of Terror tears Paris apart, a dandy and a spy are thrown together on a desperate race through France.In the darkest days of the Reign of Terror, rumors grow of the Star of Versailles, the most exquisite treasure ever owned by the doomed Marie Antoinette. For Vincent Tessier, the notorious Butcher of Orlans, this potent symbol of the ancien rgime has become an obsession and he'll stop at nothing to possess it.When Alexandre Gaudet arrives in France to find his missing sister and nephew, the last thing he expects is to fall into Tessier's hands. With Gaudet tortured and left for dead, salvation stumbles accidentally, if rather decorously, into his path.For Viscount William Knowles, life as a spy isn't the escape he had hoped for. Yet a long-held secret won't let him rest, and the fires of Revolution seem like the easiest way to hide from a past that torments him at every turn.Adrift in a world where love, family and honor are currencies to be traded, the world-weary Viscount Knowles and the scandalous Monsieur Gaudet have no choice but to try to get along if they want to survive. With Tessier in pursuit, they search for the clues that will lead them to the greatest treasure in revolutionary France-the Star of Versailles.
