Author Lila DiPasqua brings her beautiful, beloved :"Fiery Tales Series" to a dazzling close with "Three Reckless Wishes". As Luc de Moutier, Marquis of Fontenay strives to recover social acceptance for his family--lost through unjust accusations of treachery against the crown--he remains haunted by the words of longing written by Isabelle Laurent, a woman thought dead for almost a decade. He never realized that Isabelle watched from backstage as he attended plays performed by her father's acting troupe. He had never met her in life, but she was all too real in the words of her journal, writing of her admiration for Luc and haunting him with his thoughts of what might have been. Luc had been given the journals when Isabelle's sister, Sabine, had married Luc's brother, Jules. Celebrated courtesan Juliette Carre, renowned for her great beauty and wit, is desired by many, but few are given the pleasure of her company. After barely escaping a fiery death at the hands of a madman, Isabelle Laurent had left behind all that she had known and been reborn as Juliette Carre. Now with some small fortune earned as Juliette, she is able to enjoy a measure of independence and to care properly for herself and her young son, Gabriel. When Luc suddenly returns to the social world, seeking a suitably wealthy and titled wife to further ensure his acceptance, he is bewitched and distracted by the beautiful Juliette. Her feelings for him are just the same as when she saw him through young Isabelle's eyes, but now there is an added element of sensual awareness. The course of her life shaped in part by the three reckless wishes she once made, she must now live with the consequences. Both Luc and Isabelle have many secrets. Is there a way to overcome the hidden torments of their pasts and find a happy future together? Be sure to read all of the "Fiery Tales"--perfect for fairy-tale dreamers who grew up to love romantic fables which enable them to get lost in the pages of a book.
