About
The beautiful young Stanton sisters are 'Four Venuses', each named after a Greek goddess by their late, beloved father. His passing leaves them penniless – but to help the new Baronet, their brother Nicky, afford to finish his Oxford degree, Larisa, the most down-to-earth of the Venuses, resolves to take a position as a governess.
The only post available is in France, as governess to the Duc de Valmont's grandson and gladly Larisa accepts. But before she even arrives, she is warned to steer clear of the child's father, Comte Raoul de Valmonte – a man so notorious as a womaniser and a rake, yet irresistible to women, that he is known as 'Monsieur le Diable' (the devil). At Château Valmont Larisa finds herself in a seething cauldron of violent passions, of depravity, wickedness, and murderous intent. Is it possible to fall in love with a man known as 'the devil', she asks herself? With Comte Raoul's life at stake, Larisa, and Monsieur le Diable are about to find out…
