Secret Prey

My Secret Husband by Angelina de Mourier and John du Prey.

Sizzling are the sultry days of 1741 Bielle, France, which sing of love amidst the fall of the most heinous man in the Province. Angelina de Mourier, the daughter of the aristocratic de Mouriers, is ravaged by henchmen of her father's nemesis, the depraved Marquis D' Saraté or "Red Boot," as he is known.

Summon the Garde du Corps!

Beckon the finest in the land, or specifically, the stalwart and dashing Monsieur John du Prey to protect and heal our beautiful Angelina. Mesmerized within his eyes, romance blossoms into a secret marriage, hushed in its consummation because of their distinctive classes. Into the woods they traverse, yet, while in seclusion, the couple entertains many in their court, from the scintillating philanderer, Marcól, and his lovely entourage, to the nurturing and noble, Cherié.

Romantic interludes ensue amidst the wilds, and from their sequestered waterfall paradise the war of Retribution is waged to avenge the ravage of Angelina, whom herself engages in this fight of the century in honor of her gallant husband. Sound the trumpets call for Love, Intimacy and Passion to conquer all!
