The Topaz Charm
When lovely Jeanne-Anne de St. Martin wed the dashing Marquis de Valerian, it was a marriage of necessity for her, and an amusing game for him. Despite her French name, Jeanne-Anne was British through and through, and in the hostile nation of Napoleon she desperately needed protection. As for the Marquis, this proud, unbending young lady offered Guy an amorous challenge he could not resist.

Soon Jeanne-Anne found herself falling under the spell of the husband whose loyalties she despised--while Guy was called upon to defend her against the most dangerous man in France, Napoleon's notorious spy, Pierre Fernand. On a perilous trail of romance and intrigue that led from glittering Paris to a great chateau in the French countryside, Jeanne-Anne discovered that all her happiness rested on the man she had called a coward--who would risk his life to prove her wrong.
