The Fallon Pride
The war of 1812... From the shores of Tripoli to the burning of Washington, from the Louisiana Purchase to Aaron Burr's Empire of Mexico, to the War of 1812, Robert Fallon--bastard son of wealth--takes part in all the momentous events of his time.
But for Robert Fallon, affairs of state are only the beginning of the story. There is Louise de Chardonnay, his elegant French mistress; Catherine Fallon, his disturbingly sensual half-sister; the sinister and seductive Cordelia Applegate; and ever present, in the shadows, the dark menace of the Fourriers--the aristocratic family that will stop at nothing to destroy THE FALLON PRIDE
