 From wealth to poverty, Sabine and her family have fallen on hard times. Desperate to save her family, she tries to seduce and deceive her childhood crush Jules de Moutier to make off with his sizable loot. 
 This was my first book from Lila DiPasqua. A fun read with lots of smoulder and steam - our hero likes to talk dirty. But what I really liked was that there was never a dull moment. Story clips along at a fast pace. Of course you have to give the story a little benefit of a how-realistic-this-would-have-been doubt but as such the blurb prepares you for what you are in for.
