THE SUN KING AND THE QUEEN OF PLEASURE. Louis XIV was one of history's great lovers. Fought over by every exquisite woman in France, there was only one luscious jewel Louis really wanted to possess; the irresistible Angelique. But the emerald-eyed enchantress knew Louis discarded beautiful mistresses like toys. And that she would never bear. Angelique was determined to find new ways to keep the King's passion a flame. HAVE YOU MET ANGELIQUE? She's one of the most irresistible heroines in the history of fiction. Her stormy adventures have taken her from the gutters of Paris to the harems of Africa to the silken prison of a King. Angelique has loved, intrigued, hated and fought her way into the hearts of million of readers all over the world. Once you've met Angelique, you won't want to miss any of the sensational Angelique novels. As the story opens, Angelique has already known great love, great loss, trauma, poverty and violence, but her heart is still empty. Through a series of adventures, the King becomes increasingly enamored of her, but the book is also heavily concerned with the ambivalent relationship between Angelique and Marquis Philippe du Plessis Bellerie.
