Dance With a Stranger — Kit Garland

"I WISH THAT YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO YOUR BED, LUCIEN."

Ghislaine Nisbet soared into stardom as premiere danseuse of the Paris Opera even as she snubbed royalty from every corner of Europe. The ravishing dancer scorned the jewels that were flung at her feet -- yet she melted in her kidnapper's arms. She knew only the first name of the highwayman who swept her away to his chateau for three wanton days, a dark stranger who shattered her frozen heart and threatened her brilliant career....

She tasted of warm wine and sweet naivete, this insidious enchantress who transformed him into a man obsessed. Lucien Sachs, the polished diplomat, the British secret agent sent to save France's king, had become a blackguard kidnapper, a man undone by the very woman he planned to use as a pawn. Here was true danger: passion that incinerated cool calculation, a woman who made him vulnerable as no enemy ever had before.
