"Hannah van Evan's reputation was wrongly tarnished but she decidesto leave Miami. She gets a job appraising antiques at a French chateau. Confined to a cottage on the French estate is Nardi de Saint Vallier, once a renowned sculptor. But lately, he is addicted to ether, and his aristocratic family is keeping him in the cottage until he recovers.
When Nardi meets Hannah, all he wants is ether and to take Hannah to bed. Hannah tries to avoid going to bed with Nardi, but befriends the handsome charmer. Nardi's passion for Hannah develops beyond lust as he recognizes a fellow lover of beauty. Hannah's love helps heal Nardi's physical and emotional ills. But meanwhile, Nardi's family has arranged a marriage for him to a wealthy heiress."
