Product Description
Married against her will to the brutal Russian general who conquered her people, Countess Teo Korsakova has never known what it means to want a man...until now. Trapped behind enemy lines, held captive by her husband's most formidable foe, she should fear for her life. But all Teo feels in General Andre Duras's shattering presence is breathless passion. France's most victorious commander, Andre knows that he should do the honorable thing, knows too that on the eve of battle he cannot afford so luscious a distraction. Yet something about Teo lures him to do the unthinkable: to seduce his enemy's wife, and to let himself love a woman who can never be his.

In 1799, on the Eastern front, the French army, led by their great tactician and leader General André Duras, makes ready for a battle with the Russian army led by the renowned but abusive General Korsakova. Three days before the battle, Korsakova,s spouse, Teo, who was at the front at the insistence of her husband, is caught by the French army. André informs Teo that she will remain a French prisoner of war until the present fighting ends.
To Andre's shock, Teo is more than happy to remain his prisoner because she loathes the vituperative Korsakova. She explains that she married him so her Siberian people would be safe from his wrath. He, in turn, explains that he is married to Tallyrand's niece, a materialist who could not care whether André survives the war or not as long as she gets her desires fulfilled. On the eve of the battle, André and Teo share the most beautiful love making of their lives and soon realize that they have both found love for the first time. However, there is a war going on with the lovers having different allegiences, making it appear that either they will have no future together, or one or both of them will have to become traitors.
Sizzling Susan Johnson writes what may her best novel yet in what is already one of the great writing careers of the nineties. TABOO is an incredible historical romantic fiction that is a battlefield equivalent to Romeo and Juliet. The book is clearly a Johnson tale because all her trademark elements are included: The lead protagonists are as romantic and as hot as they get in fiction, and the poignant story line moves faster than General Duras' rapidly advancing French army. In addition to the solar heat, Ms. Johnson adds touches of authenticity that turn the book into one of the three best historical romances of the year.
