French Slippers

The Gambler's Beautiful Daughter

She must choose... choose to seek a "suitable" position as governess or take the most outrageous risk of her young life. For beautiful, high-spirited Julia Swanton, the next step was clear.

Apart from her jealous sister, only one person could undo her: the handsome Frenchman who had his secrets and knew hers. They had made a cold bargain, but could Julia keep it? Could her icy resolve falter, melted by passion? By love?
