Stranger in My Arms — Louisa Rawlings

A splendid passion . . .

He was every girl's romantic dream: the handsome, brooding hero that Charmiane de Viollet had longed for, the man who would sweep her away from the endless tedium of life among the impoverished aristocrats who had lost their fortunes in the shadow of the guillotine. He was Adam Bouchard, Baron Montcalvo, a colonel in the cavalry, a favorite of Emperor Napoleon's. In one reckless night of passion, Charmiane gave herself to him, body and soul.

But morning's harsh light can dull even the brightest dream. When the night was over, would Charmiane wake to find . . . a stranger in her arms?

Hero: Adam Bouchard, Baron Montcalvo
Heroine: Charmiane de Viollet
