Helene Bingham ’ s had more than enough trouble in her short life . And nobody ’ s ever around to help . That ’ s why she invented Brandy – the wench of loose morals , sharp tongue , and fast reflexes . Brandy finds it a grand jest to stand in for her cousin at the wedding , and there ’ s a bonus : Is saves Helene , too . At least , until the groom finds out . . .

Where is Bandy when she needs her ?
The Splendors of Court A world of intrigue , lust , and high fashion . And a forbidden love .
1740 France
A position in the highest of places – French aristocracy . Noble antecedents as the only daughter of a powerful man – the Comte d ’ Antillion . Rich , wine growing acreage for her dowry – Savignen Valley . A powerful husband – the Duc de Berchald . Security as chatelaine of the family ’ s castle – Chateau Berchand .
In the world of high French society , purity has no value . Love , even less . The world revolves around intrigue and power plays , decadence and debauchery , self-indulgence and sin , violence and lust .
Illicit love isn ' t just sinful . It ' s foolish . It makes one vulnerable . Weak . For in the world in which Giselle was born , love is just another weapon .
