Wild Is the Heart — Diana Summers

Burning Desire

Born into wealth and privilege, Aurelia was sheltered from the gathering storm of revolution. But with the fall of the Bastille, her golden world was shattered forever. Swept into the dark currents of political intrigue, she soon discovers the power of her dazzling beauty to arouse men's deepest desires. -- Abducted by a sadistic French aristocrat, Aurelia is rescued by a handsome, seductive British officer and surrenders herself into a love affair of incredibly sweet ecstasy - only to learn that the untamable Lieutenant Hood has played shamelessly with her heart and body.

Heartbroken and humiliated, Aurelia is forced to use her exquisite charms to become wife, mistress and sought-after courtesan to the most powerful men in France - until fate reunites her with the one man whose glorious lovemaking still burns in her memory.
