Read this long ago and loved it. Purchased this copy for trade or release.

From the book:

"He was a notorious philanderer---perhaps even a murderer---but Minella could not get him out of her mind.

From the moment that beautiful 18-year-old Minella Maddox saw Charles-Auguste, the haughty, arrogant Comte Fontaine Delibes, his satanic looks thrilled her with a sense of danger and excitement.

A French aristocrat of wealth and power, the Comte had a reputation for taking what he wanted, especially women. And right now he wanted Minella. She was the most desirable thing he had ever seen. Minella was the woman he would marry, and nothing would be allowed to stand in his way...not even his wife.

Suddenly Minella was swept up in a nightmare of adultery, betrayal, and murder---as France seethed with revolt. and terror engulfed the land."

Reserving this one for DreamSE22. It was on her wish list so hope it lives up to her expectations.

You hope it lives up to my expectations? Of course it will, its Victoria Holt! Thank you again. You completely made my day. I won't forget this *small* favor.
