A YOUNG GIRL'S RUDE AWAKENING
It was the spring of 1909, when Gardenia Weedon's mother died, leaving her penniless, Gardenia ran to the Paris home of her one living relative--the wealthy and beautiful Duchess de Mabillon. Travel-stained, weary and penniless she arrived to Paris, and before the lovely Gardenia knew it, she was clothed in high Paris fashion and mingling with society's most eligible bachelors--among them the cool and handsome Englishman, Lord Hartcourt.
But though she loved Paris, Gardenia felt uneasy about the shocking parties she frequently witnessed, about the leering Baron who was forever in her aunt's boudoir, about the way all the elegant young gentlemen looked at her and spoke to her.
And then, to make matters worse, Gardenia fell in love....

TOO LATE FOR LOVE
Sheena had come to the Mariposan Embassy in Paris under false pretenses. She pretended she was a widow, that she was English, and that she was an experienced governess. Sheena had no idea why her Uncle had asked her to partake in this mysterious masquerade. Only that it was very important to him.
At first Sheena enjoyed her work. Paris was enchanting, the people she met charming. Among them were the handsome Vicomte de Corineille, who passionately pursued her, and the aloof Lucian Mansfield, whom she found most attractive.
It was only after Sheena had fallen desperately in love that the horror of her situation dawned on her. But by then it was too late, for she was trapped in a web of lies, and dangerous, deadly intrigue....
