Reckless Splendor — Maria Greene

A DARING PASSION

As a powerful enemy stalks her through the glittering whirl of Louis XIV's court, Madeleine Poquelin is rescued from immediate capture by a dashing aristocrat, Germain de Belleforiere. Captivated by her beauty, he gallantly stands as her protector in the face of relentless danger. And even as she storms against his fiery advances, she fights a wild tide of desire...

But who is this mysterious Germain de Belleforiere? Only he can help her find the crucial diary that will bring murderers to justice -- yet even in the shelter of his warm embrace, she fears he is an agent of her adversary. She cannot know that Germain seeks his own revenge...or that together they will find passion beyond suspicion and violence, to fulfill love's eternal dream.
