Marianne and the Rebels — Juliette Benzoni

THE ODYSSEY OF MARIANNE...

Bidden by her old lover, Napoleon of France, Marianne undertakes a secret mission to the exotic Ottoman Empire, there to persuade Turkey to continue its war with Russia while Napoleon prepares his historic march on Moscow.

But she is also on her way, at last, to the arms of Jason Beaufort, her adoring lover from America. Before they neet again, however, Marianne is kidnapped by her vicious husband, the mysterious masked Prince Corrado and taken to his palace. There begins Marianne's long struggle, taking her to Florence, Venice, the islands of the Mediterranean and finally to her destination, where danger and her need for Beaufort are suddenly greater than ever.
