Marianne d'Asselnat's successful debut is marred by the sudden appearance of her husband, Francis Cranmere. Out for revenge, Francis will stop at nothing to make Marianne pay for leaving him for dead in the burning ruin of her ancestral home. Even her lover, Napoleon Bonaparte, is out of reach as he fulfils his duty to the empire, marrying the Austrian Princess Marie-Louise in order to produce an heir.

Abandoned and unprotected, in order to save her reputation and her life, Marianne sets forth to Tuscany at the will of her godfather, Gauthier de Chazay, where an unknown, faceless husband and an arranged marriage awaits.

Telos Publishing is proud to present the second book in Juliette Benzoni's acclaimed, best-selling series of historical romance novels set during the Napoleonic period. Also previously published with the title Marianne and the Masked Prince. This edition is presented for the first time in English completely unabridged.
