Fiona Melrose: Even Beyond Death, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'This novel is utterly brilliant and I loved it . . . Heart-stopping danger stalks the story, but heart-bursting romance even more so . . . I was completely swept away - and shattered' Wendy Holden, Daily Mail

Avignon, 1657. Marquis Jehan Beaudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet.

Enter Jonathan Kryk, a young Dutch valet seeking employment, and a vision of breathtaking beauty. The Marquis soon finds himself enraptured with Jonathan, while at the same time ensnared by the rigid constraints that his society and rank place on him. His longing for the man remains an impossible dream, albeit one that Jehan deems worth pursuing.

But amongst the lavish world of Avignon's nobility, spies lurk everywhere. Can the Marquis trust anyone in his household, or even his own family?

Sumptuous, steamy and lavishly dramatic, Even Beyond Death is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.
'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart' Essie Fox
'Knowing and witty, Fiona Melrose's third novel uses an ingenious narrative conceit to allow Jehan to tell the story of his passion "even beyond death"' Sunday Times
'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement' Patrick Gale
