Lorelei

From Vienna's glided ballrooms to the sun drenched splendor of Maximilian's Mexico, mother and daughter were rivals in beauty…rivals in love.

Lorelei Lefevre
The toast of Viennese and Parisian courts, her heart had room for more than one man; Archduke Maximilian came close to abandoning and empire for her, and Philippe Lefevre, the dashing revolutionary showered her with kisses and a title he wished he never possessed.

Charmaine Lefevre
The radiant promise of Lorelei and Philippe's marriage, she leaped over the brink of womanhood on the fateful night she caught her mother in the arms of the one man she knew she must have—the only man she would ever love.

Against a dazzling panorama of imperial pageantry and dashing revolutionary adventure, the two beautiful women shared a fierce destiny that spanned continents and conquered the ravages of war and time.
