Two captivating stories about the sacrifices we make for love... The second novel in the HIDDEN WOMEN trilogy is set in the world of the nineteenth-century Parisian courtesans.
Hurt and confused by the sudden end of her strange love affair with Venetian millionaire Marco Donato, Sarah Thomson is persuaded to take her bruised heart to Paris by her ex-boyfriend Steven, who is hoping for a reconciliation.
While she and Steven rekindle their psychologically and sexually tortured relationship, Sarah tries to forget her yearning for Marco by throwing herself into a new project: a study of the life of notorious nineteenth-century courtesan, Augustine Levert, whose sensual charms parted many a man from his fortune. But when her life begins to parallel Augustine's story, Sarah realises she will never erase Marco from her heart.
Faced with a choice between safety and overwhelming passion, will both women make the right decision?
