Mavreen

Part of the Women of Fire series

She was the illegitimate daughter of an English aristocrat and a young and gentle governess. She was lovely, intelligent, and had a quality that drew all men to her, ensnaring them fatally in a web of charm. Stubborn in her loyalties, passionate in her affections, her one flaw was her uncontrollable and tempestuous nature...

Sir John Danesfield, captivated by his daughter's spirit, takes her to Georgian London to live with his mistress. At the age of fifteen, she falls in love with the Vicomte Gerard de Valle, an impoverished French nobleman. Believing him lost to her, she enters a loveless marriage arranged by her father. But she can never forget the man who had captured her heart.
