This is an historical romance story set in France. In the reign of Louis XV, an age when corruption blooms luxuriantly. Justin, Duke of Avon, also flourishes. Notorious as a libertine, he nurses a life-long hatred for the Comte de St. Vire. Then, from a murky Parisian backstreet he plucks Leon - a red-headed scamp with strangely familiar looks... Among the splendours of Versailles and the dignified mansion of England, Justin unfolds his plan of revenge, and the adoring Leonie - the urchin tunred ravishing beauty - unwittingly plays her part in many startling roles, not least as a reforming influence. This would be a  lovely read for any fan of historical romance stories!","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55215837118843,"sku":"10310435","price":6.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_486414_jpg.jpg?v=1742829234","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/georgette-heyers-these-old-shades-bantam-books-1967","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
