Bøker i Roxton Foundation-serien

A year has passed since Roxton rescued Antonia from his evil cousin the Comte de Salvan. Salvan continues his insidious interference from his place of exile, but Roxton is determined that nothing will ruin the happiness of His Duchess.

Antonia's court presentation has finally arrived, but how will she be received, not only by the King, but by His Majesty's mistress Mme de Pompadour, and also the French nobility?

Antonia must flee the Court of Versailles and orchestrates an escape with the assistance of the Duke of Roxton, a man she has been warned against as too dangerous for her to know. Her belief in him may just be his salvation, and her undoing.

Domestic harmony is once again disrupted at the villa, this time by one of the Duke's ex-lovers intent on causing mischief for Her Duke. She also hopes to embarrass the Duchess by dragging her into the scandal.
