Love Beneath the Guillotine

"Desperate men have no morals..." Léon Lyon: beautiful, beloved, broken. As premier executioner of Reims, he's desired and feared in equal measure. But Léon has a secret. Each head he takes brings him one day closer to escape. He's been saving every centime he's ever earned, and any day now, he'll leave town and with his little brother Émile.

But all Léon's plans are thrown into disarray when Émile is kidnapped by the dashing, dangerous, and despicable Henri De Villiers. At the mercy of the blackmailer, Léon's only chance to save his brother is to play the man's wicked game.

Yet, as Léon is drawn deeper into Henri's world, he begins to see a different side of him. Idealistic, passionate, willing to kill or die for those he loves, Henri might just be the escape Léon's been searching for all these years. But can Léon ever forgive Henri for what he's done?
