The Butterfly of Marquise Pompadour

An exquisite gold brooch shaped like a butterfly can grant any wish its owner makes. Thanks to it, plain Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson became Marquise de Pompadour—a woman who managed to capture the king’s fickle heart for many years... The very same butterfly changed Kira’s life. Yesterday’s beggar and supplicant became a fateful woman no man can resist. But shortly before her wedding, Kira disappears—and the butterfly-brooch remains. Now Aline—astonishingly like Kira—is offered the chance to take the runaway’s place. After all, Alexei isn’t willing to accept the bride’s disappearance. He doesn’t believe Kira left on her own and that she’s alive, but he knows—no killer will resist a new bride. And the living butterflies sent as a wedding gift are the best confirmation of that...
