Under Louis XV's reign, corruption thrives in France, and Lord Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, is infamous for his cold demeanor and debauched lifestyle. Known as 'Satanas,' he embraces society's disdain. In a dark Parisian alley, he encounters Leon, a ragged youth fleeing a brutal guardian. The Duke buys Leon, who is actually Leonie, the Comte de Saint Vire's legitimate daughter, wronged by her father's desire for a male heir. With deep devotion, she serves the Duke, who harbors plans for revenge against the Comte. As they navigate the opulence of Versailles and England's grand mansions, Justin intends to use Leonie to enact his revenge, showcasing her beauty to his enemy while helping her reclaim her birthright. However, he is unprepared for Leonie's stunning transformation and the unexpected emotions she stirs within him. While Leonie captivates Paris, her true origins remain a mystery, and the glittering social scene cannot quell her inner turmoil. The one man who holds the key to her past is the formidable Comte de Saint Vire, the Duke's nemesis. He demands a price for the truth, forcing Leonie to confront her feelings for the Duke and the possibility of betrayal. Can she face the reality of her origins and the love she harbors?
