description: IF YOU WOULD SEDUCE ME ... PROMISE ME YOUR LOVE
  
  Even her glorious beauty could not save nineteen-year-old Dominique from the maddened mob outside the Tuileries Palace. As lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette, Dominique had lived a luxurious life in the French court, one that disappeared when France fell to the cruel revolutionary Robespierre.
  
  Now Dominique was in prison with the royal family -- and, in spite of the terrible danger to her life, determined to stand by the king and queen. Then suddenly the love of her childhood days - handsome Paul Delamare--offered her escape. To her he had become a traitor; to him she was still a foolish child; and yet it would take only a touch to set their passions afire.
  
  They were destined to become lovers swept up in the irresistible tides of history... separated by loyalties, bound by ecstasy... and rushing toward days of heartbreaking tragedy or a time when nothing could stop their love.
  
  Hero: Paul Delamare
