The Countess of Bassigny — Armand Croft

While dining on Valentine's Day, a tall handsome man approaches Karen and MacCrimmon, introduces himself as Philippe Agneau de la Roche, the Count of Bassigny, and lavishly praises Karen's beauty. Over the following weeks the count, enchanted by her, approaches her several times. When he meets with Karen and MacCrimmon and proposes that she leave her husband and become the Countess of Bassigny, she refuses him outright. But the count persists, and when he asks her to have dinner with him at his penthouse, Karen, knows it's unwise, but angry at MacCrimmon for visiting Lena Montoya, she agrees. When she wakes up the next morning, naked, next to Count Philippe, also naked, she knows her life is about to change dramatically.
