Immerse yourself in the daring and decadence of the Belle Époque…

Paris, 1889: Amélie Audet toils in a laundry when, only steps away, investors promise the most glittering dance hall the city has ever seen. Determined to secure an audition, she stumbles into a meeting with the alluring owner of the Moulin Rouge and must face her scandalous past.

She would have Paris at her feet.

Jasper Degrailly is enchanted by a painting come to life. He sets out to seduce Amélie with his gilded world and the dark warrens of his mind. Yet he has his own sordid entanglements, and soon the gentleman and the singer must manage the greedy machinations of bohemian and high-society Paris.

He would have her at his.

Caught between competing artists, directors, and dance halls, Amélie struggles to earn the role that could make her a star, while Jasper strives to let go of his tortured past and hold on to his bright future. Eventually, their fates collide, and they find themselves torn between their desperate hearts and their irreconcilable lives.

PLEASE NOTE: This is the mainstream edition with virtually no explicit content. The "Writer’s Cut” edition contains graphic content.

"A vivid world... of the female and society's judgements and expectations. Of power, control, passion, troubles, and hardships." ~ Books, Tea, and Me

"Wow! What a fantastic book. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could..." ~ NetGalley Reviewer

"Heywood's Paris burns hotter and shines brighter--her prose clever and banter sharp--making the reader feel as though they are walking through the city's streets." ~ Author A.R. Hadley

"I loved Jasper and Amélie as a couple. Their chemistry was tangible..." ~ Raya's Reads

"This book was amazing. This is the way historical fiction should be done..." ~ NetGalley Reviewer

"I absolutely love [Heywood's] attention to detail... She really makes the world of late-19th century Paris come to life." ~ Little But Fierce Book Diary

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Written Historical Fiction Novel!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020
    This book was really interesting! It is filled with romance, steamy moments, and both heart-wrenching and heartwarming scenes.

    This is the first book I have read by Ms. Heywood, and I am excited to read more. I absolutely love her attention to detail, and her historical research is so clear. She really makes the world of late-19th century Paris come to life, and I am so excited to do more research and learn more about this period in history.

    If you like historical fiction and / or historical romance novels, I recommend this book!

    Thank you so much to NetGalley and Marais Media for an ARC of this book, all opinions are my own! I enjoyed it!

    Note: This review is for the "Mainstream Edition" of this book. There were a few moments in the book that I would consider references to explicit material. However, It mainly was not shown as the publisher said. The publisher also states that the "Writer's Cut" edition is more explicit.
