English Summary/英文概要: Beloved New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels sweeps readers from war-torn France to the dawn of Hollywood’s golden age in this spellbinding novel of love and deception…
When Reuben Tarz meets Marchioness Michelene Fonsard, known as Madame Mickey, he is a wounded American soldier desperate to escape the hell of the French trenches. Madame Mickey offers another option—for Reuben and his best friend, Daniel Bishop, to live at her lavish chateau, where she will help them heal in body and soul.
Madame Mickey’s sophistication captivates the ambitious Reuben, and their affair is as tender as it is sensual. Then Mickey’s young niece, Bebe Rosen, arrives from California, scattering chaos in her wake. Bebe is instantly smitten with Reuben—and what Bebe wants, she gets. But every wish has consequences, and every sin has its price. And amid a tangle of seduction and betrayal, each will find a love powerful enough to change a life—or to destroy it…

Awards/获奖情况:Affaire de Coeur :“人物刻画得很美很吸引人。”
每周出版人(Publishers Weekly ):“在这部现代版失乐园中,鲁本和他的朋友获得米奇夫人的帮助脱离战海,并居于同一屋檐下,后因米奇夫人侄女的到来将这原本的宁静破坏殆尽。作者为其三人设计了爱的考验,最终皆以失败告终,之后小说开始讲的都是围绕他们的惩罚。鲁本和友人的友谊建立于战争的艰险,米奇夫人无微不至照顾鲁本强奸米奇夫人侄女后所生的孩子,所有性的幻象通通破灭。作者的小说总有一种强烈的道德感,然而此处有点不是滋味。” “Well-drawn characters…beautifully executed.”---Affaire de Coeur
In this modern-day melodrama of paradise lost, Reuben Tarz and Daniel Bishop are rescued from a French hospital at the close of WW I to share a luxurious chateau with Mickey, a sexy French marchioness. Their tranquil retreat is shaken up by the arrival of 16-year-old Bebe Rosen, daughter of an American movie mogul. Michaels creates a test of love for Reuben, Mickey and Bebe that each inevitably fails. The rest of the novel charts their punishment. Aside from Daniel and Reuben’s friendship born of the adversities of war, and Mickey’s maternal devotion to the illegitimate son born of Reuben’s rape of Bebe, no love endures, and any apparent understanding between the sexes is an illusion destined to be violently shattered. Michaels’s novels (the Texas trilogy) always evince a strong sense of morality, but here this has turned sour and vindictive. The Hollywood setting in which Bebe and Reuben work out their fates is a hollow, unconvincing cliche--as though Michaels can barely stand to ponder the ugly, despair-sodden world she depicts. ---From Publishers Weekly
