Product Description
Chantal was brought up lovingly by her stepmother, Mavreen. Exquisite and beguiling, she is loved by three men: a debauched French nobleman; a bold, hot-blooded Portuguese pirate; and John, Mavreen's son. Chantal knows him only as a brother - but he is aware of the truth and will risk anything to win her love. From the glittering ballrooms of aristocratic London, to a French chateau and a deserted tropical island in the Seychelles, Chantal is swept into a whirlwind of ecstasy, scandal and anguish. This unforgettable saga pulses with the same passion and energy as the story of Mavreen, Chantal's stepmother and her 'sister' Tamarisk.
