A RUNAWAY ROYAL. A PASSIONATE PRINCE. A SINISTER STRANGER 

Flora Braithwaite, a headstrong young noblewoman, is especially stubborn when it comes to matters of the heart. Her father is insisting she marry a German prince fifteen years her senior, and determined to prove her independence she does the unthinkable. She runs away. 

Zane De'Ville, a handsome, flamboyant French aristocrat, has indulged his dark desires with a string of women. When he literally stumbles into a beautiful young lady, she cannot, or perhaps will not, tell him anything about herself. Unwilling to leave her to wander the streets alone he takes her to his house. 

She quickly learns he is one man who will not tolerate her churlishness. 

But there's a sinister character with evil intent watching from the shadows. Does he wish to harm Flora, or is it the dashing Frenchman who has filled him with fury? 

 If you enjoy historical romance, and a skilled loving dominant crossing swords with a strong-willed clever woman, you will delight this new dashing hero, Master Zane.
