Like all the Collisons before her, Kate paints miniatures. When her father's eyesight fails, she agrees to complete his most important commission: portraits of the powerful Baron de Centeville and his fiancee. But what begins as a small deception turns into a nightmare of passion and terror. No blushing bridegroom, the man Kate depicts is a complex creature, cruel and graceful, ruthless and charming: "The Demon Lover." Revealing Kate as the artist, the baron presents her to Parisian society. Her happiness at her overdue recognition is soon shattered, for the baron has plans for her--shocking plans that change her life--until this exquisite, fiery artist learns to fight him with his own weapons. --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
