Produktbeschreibung
Celeste, Duchesse de Saint Tours, is forced into hiding when she is falsely accused of the murder of her husband. She flees to the south of France, where her distant cousin, Marcel Daunou reluctantly agrees to hide her in plain sight on his farm. However, she must learn to live as a peasant farmer in order to complete the deception, a feat which appears next to impossible to the haughty Duchess. Especially knowing that the unsettling Marcel is watching over her at every turn. She can't wait to return to her beloved Paris, and the exquisite, hedonistic lifestyle she has left behind. Marcel knows that he places his loved ones in danger when he agrees to hide Celeste. However, his committee has agreed to hide her in exchange for a large sum of money that will assist their gravely poor community, and since she is his family, he takes responsibility for her. But Republican fervour is running high and Marcel knows if the Duchess is found out, she will be marched back to Paris, and to the guillotine. And his family will face harsh retribution from the agitating revolutionaries for hiding a member of the despised nobility. Forced to work together, Celeste and Marcel discover a passion that they cannot resist. And Celeste discovers a feeling of belonging and acceptance from the people of the village that she has never felt before. She begins to dream about a future with Marcel. When her well-meaning lawyer appears in the village and gives her identity away, it isn't only Marcel that Celeste stands to lose - it's her life as well. How can a noble Duchess and a peasant farmer find their happily ever after?

Autorenporträt
Bree Verity grew up on a diet of tea and crumpets, dancing, Regency novels, old movies and musicals. It's no wonder she has ended up writing love stories. She lives in Perth Western Australia with her teenage son, her long-suffering, patient and wonderful partner, and her two doggy writing buddies, Millie and Boofhead. She keeps it very quiet from them that she is equally a cat person. She is horribly charmed by the tiny house movement and, although she realises she would very quickly go crazy in such a confined space, she will watch anything and everything about building tiny houses. If someone invented a way to directly infuse tea into the veins, she would sign up for it immediately. Bree loves to hear from her readers, and can be contacted on Facebook or Twitter, or at her website www.breeverity.com
