Paris, 1901. Three women—three muses of art, music and dance—find their lives and hearts swept up in the dangerous, all-consuming embrace of desire. Three men set out to capture these muses and find that the game of hunter and prey does not always go as planned.

Elise Montfort, the haughty young opera diva, is the darling of Paris society with a talent that is only rivaled by her cynicism. Clever and sometimes cruel, Elise only looks out for herself, and with good reason. She has something to hide: a deadly secret from her past that could utterly ruin her.
A darkly erotic love affair with a handsome, mysterious marquis takes Elise to new heights of pleasure and challenges her heart as much as her body. Her jaded, morally ambivalent existence is suddenly jeopardized by the return of a dangerous man from her past who threatens to reveal her secret. Elise finds herself forced to choose between her lover and her enemy, a decision tangled in a web of blackmail, scandal, heart-break and despair. Can one have sympathy for the devil? Only if one remembers that the devil is but a fallen angel.
