So Philippa decides on a marriage of convenience to a prudish, if kind, man. Across the Channel in France, the Reign of Terror is causing the beheading of thousands from the French nobility. Among those in danger is Philippas friend, the Marquis de Condorcet. Not only has Philippa the means of rescuing him from the guillotine, shes got the courage. And as fate would have it, Philippa will find love where she least expects it-while staring death in the face.About the AuthorDiana Norman (1933-2011) worked on local newspapers in Devon and the East End of London and at age of twenty became the youngest reporter in what used to be Fleet Street.
