Publisher's Synopsis
Love's reckoning...
Illegitimate daughter of a great French nobleman, young Ninon was whisked from a life of cruel drudgery by the dashing Philippe, Count of Froissart. But the flame-tressed Ninon was to be misfortune's captive once again, just as Philippe was slave to his powerful title-and the marriage vow he could not break. Would the count's impassioned love be forever beyond her reach? And could she dare give her heart to Valentin, the wandering actor with the tongue of a rogue-and the face of a god?
