Henry Truscott is a dissipated rake even by the standards of the late eighteenth century. When the beautiful Eloise catches his eye, he expects either to be thrashed by her footmen and dumped in a ditch or to take his full pleasure in her magnificent curves. he gets more than he had anticipated, in every way, trading seduction and revenue and finally using her and her maids in an increasingly perverse manner as they are pursued across France by bloodthirsty revolutionaries.Part of Aishling Morgan’s Truscott saga.
