Stephanie: The Passions of Spring

It has been a year of violent revolution in France -- of street riots and protest marches, of carts that bore the dead rumbling through the Paris streets, of a king driven into exile. And now, as the rifle-shots and flaring torches ebbed away, it would be a year of tempestuous adventure for beautiful young Stephanie de Boisnaudouin, whose moment in history had arrived.

Fiery and headstrong, she followed her turbulent destiny to the limits of daring -- from the court of Napoleon III and impending marriage to a rich nobleman, into the arms of a handsome soldier who unleashed Stephanie's deep, sensual gifts in a way that matched his own passionate nature. This is their story -- the flaming saga of two lovers in a time of upheaval -- a novel as bold, as vivid, as the fabulous lives it chronicles!
