A Secret at the Court of the Sun King

Aurore Bechard has no title, no fortune, and no place among the glittering aristocracy of Versailles. Yet when Louis XIV takes an interest in her, the Sun King gives her an impossible command: she must present herself at court as a lady.

Under the watchful eyes of the nobility, she is forced to learn the rules of a world built on appearances, ambition, and ruthless intrigue. But the greatest danger may not be the secret she is hiding.

Louis XIV, the most powerful man in Europe, has the power to make her fortune-or destroy her. Yet it is his younger brother, the libertine Prince Philippe of Orléans, who awakens a desire Aurore cannot afford to indulge.

Irreverent, seductive, and dangerously charming, Philippe is everything Aurore should resist. Yet what begins as forbidden attraction soon becomes a passion neither of them can control.

And while Aurore is caught between two brothers, a new conspiracy is spreading through the court. The New Fronde is gathering supporters, loyalties are shifting, and enemies are waiting for the smallest weakness.

If Aurore's true birth is discovered, she could lose everything.

But when the choice is between the king who commands her obedience and the prince who has captured her heart, which will she betray?
