Alone in a Paris engulfed in revolt, Aline has no chance of survival&mdash;until she meets the dashing freedom fighter Jacques Dangeau. Torn between his vow to liberate France and his passion for Aline, Jacques makes a choice that could doom both of them forever.</DIV><DIV><BR />Published in 1910,&#160;<I>A Marriage Under the Terror</I>&#160;won the Melrose Prize for best first novel.<BR /><BR />This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.</DIV></DIV><BR />
