In 1792, Paris is in flames and the hungry guillotine waits . . . .
In The Last Gift, the reader is woven into the fabric of the French Revolution, one of the most chaotic and violent social upheavals of all time. Strong and resourceful heroines, an intrepid hero and a complex and terrifying nemesis are ingredients in a tale of passionate love, bright courage and dark revenge that carries the reader from the royal palace to the shadow of the guillotine.
Jubilee is an innocent young American girl in Paris with her family. One summer afternoon Jubilee’s world comes tumbling down. She is secretly in love with Jake, her father’s handsome, young business partner, and though he asks for her hand in marriage, something is wrong. That same day Jubilee’s father discovers something ugly and mysterious that involves both Jake and her father’s French business associate Edouard Larousse. That night Jubilee’s parents are murdered and she is abducted and imprisoned in a brothel. Marie, a resourceful and worldly-wise veteran of the Paris underworld, befriends Jubilee and helps her escape—but not before something even more horrifying happens that changes Jubilee’s life forever.
