The Heart of Lafayette

Thirty-three years. Two Revolutions. One shared heart.

Adrienne de Noailles is the humble second daughter from an illustrious Parisian noble family. Gilbert du Motier is the orphaned heir to the southern aristocratic la Fayette fortune. It's a secret match made in heaven that benefits both families.

Upon the rising stir of liberty in the American colonies, Gilbert feels the calling to go off and fight despite France's proclaimed neutrality. Adrienne struggles to keep his name away from the gossip of Versailles, determined to hold up the la Fayette name as one of the lionhearted, not of renegades.

To be a typical noblewoman of 18th century France, Adrienne is expected to be complacent with motherhood and running her household, but that doesn't mean she would ever allow any man or woman to speak ill of her husband or place any of their children in danger, even at her own risk.
