Roxton Family Saga Prequel: Renard and Antonia's Happily Ever After
1740s France and England—the age of hedonism and enlightenment.
Renard, Duke of Roxton, head of an ancient noble family, is wealthy beyond measure. Arrogant, and self assured, this noble satyr is renowned throughout Europe as the consummate lover of other men's wives, but Roxton's heart remains his own.
Beautiful, optimistic, and headstrong, Antonia Moran is determined to flee the Court of Versailles and escape the lascivious attentions of the predatory Comte de Salvan.
Antonia orchestrates her escape with the unwitting assistance of the Duke of Roxton, a man she has been warned against as too dangerous for her to know. Roxton is an unlikely savior—arrogant, promiscuous, and sinister. Antonia's unquestioning belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing.
Winner of the $10,000 Woman's Day/Random House Romantic Fiction Prize, Readers' Favorite International Book Award Medalist, B.R.A.G. Medallion honoree, and a shortlisted finalist for Romance Writers of Australia Romantic Novel of the Year. A classic Beauty and the Beast tale, this award-winning historical is a homage to Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades.
"It is the golden age of French aristocratic life in the court of Louis XV. Beneath the posturing and hedonism lies a seething hotbed of intrigue, deceit, and treachery... characters live and breathe the atmosphere of the time; they are captivating, from the primary players, right down to the smaller, but no less important characters. Ultimately, this is a passionate romance, with added action and adventure, derring-do, and some narrow escapes! I loved it." —Fiona Ingram, Readers' Favorite 5 STAR Medal Winner
