When she goes to live with him in his house and discovers that he holds political meetings that speak against the king, Louis-Philippe, what will happen? When the political meetings turn into a revolution, will anyone survive the gunfire?Sweet. Pure. Innocent. Delicate. All of these words could be used to describe Emmanuelle Democoeur, the bastard daughter of the Parisian Police inspector, Etienne Democoeur. Since she came to his doorstep on a chilly evening at the age of eight, he has taken her under his wing and cared for her, raising her to be his vision of a proper lady. However, it isn't really what Emmanuelle wants for herself. She needs a reason to break free from her chains.That reason comes in the form of Pierre, a rich young man who is more attached to the wine bottle than his art, when they meet on a street one day and instantly fall in love.

Emmanuelle discovers that Pierre holds political meetings in his basement that speak against the king, Louis-Philippe, and speak of a new tomorrow with no monarchy.When this culminates into a revolution on the streets of Paris, will anybody be safe from the guns of the National Guard?
