He lost his heart to a beauty who died at the guillotine and now wants only to amuse himself with adventure and a woman in his bed. Lovely and independent, Lisette Hahn pours all her energy into running her Philadelphia Coffee House, a meeting place for figures like Thomas Jefferson. She is proud of her success and has been able to rise above the desires of her heart – until she meets Nicholai Beauvisage. That very night, Lisette finally gives her passions free rein... but what will the dawn bring?
