Description

Amazon bestselling author of romantic historical fiction novellas in her full-length novel debut.


A timeless love story set amidst the glamour 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.

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. A story sure to capture your imagination and tug at your heart! — Author A.R. Hadley


I absolutely love [Heywood’s] attention to detail and her historical research is so clear. She really makes the world of late-19th century Paris come to life.  Little But Fierce Book Diary


For me, this book certainly exceeded all expectations. Not only it was classic with all the terms used in that period, the author took care of great details while writing this. It was different from all the books in similar genre. This one was really special. — Bookreviewer_98
