Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Peer's Daughters, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel

It is true, 1 am a man, and therefore, hold a king's mistress as cheap as any other man's; but I am French before everything, and as such, I hope I know how to respect the most respectable thing in nature-the grief of a mother.
