Thank you NetGalley for this interesting read taking place mostly in Paris. It starts when the mobs attacked the wealthy and they had to leave Paris. There were three sisters, their mother and the friend of the family. Tate Cantrell. The middle sister is grabbed out of their coach and though Tate gave chase he was unable to get Diane back. Vivi impersonates her oldest sister going back years later as an actress which Charmaine looks enough like her she is able to pull it off. Tate has been looking for Vivi and realizes that is her on the stage when he goes to see her sister. Tate wants to marry Vivi and helps her all he can to try to find our what happened to Diane. They find they have to leave again in a rush. The story keeps you involved trying to learn what happened in the past and whether they will get together to return to England.

When Tate, an English spy in Paris, goes to the theatre he is shocked to find that the leading lady is not Charmaine, but her sister Vivienne masquerading as Charmaine. Vivienne is the woman he left behind in England many years ago. Vivienne is on a dangerous course to find out how her sister Diane died when they were fleeing France. They reunite to work together and restart the feelings they have always had for each other. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

A novel set during the French Revolution when many families were separated during the atrocities. Much of the story centers around the daughters as the youngest tries to find out what happened to the next eldest. Like many at that time the survivors became French emigres in England. When Napoleon reigns the youngest returns to France to find her sister with the help of a British diplomat who tries to keep her safe. Lots of intrigue, violence, and decadence.
