The Frost of Springtime
by Rachel L. Demeter
BLURB:
To rescue her
was to rescue his own soul.
On a cold Parisian night, Vicomte Aleksender de Lefèvre
forges an everlasting bond with a broken girl during her darkest hour, rescuing
her from a life of abuse and misery. Tormented by his own demons, he finds his
first bit of solace in sheltering little Sofia Rose.
But when Aleksender is drawn away by the Franco-Prussian
war, the seasons pass. And in that long year, Sofia matures into a stunning
young woman—a dancer with an understanding of devotion and redemption far
surpassing her age.
Alongside his closest friend, Aleksender returns home to
find that “home” is gone—replaced by revolution, bloodshed, betrayal—and a love
always out of reach. Scarred inside and out, he’s thrust into a world of
sensuality and violence—a world in which all his hours have now grown dark, and
where only Sofia might bring an end to the winter in his heart.
Inspired by the 1871 Paris Commune, The Frost of Springtime
is a poignant tale of revolution, redemption, and the healing power of love.

Excerpt:
The heat of their bodies mingled
as one. With each breath, Aleksender drank in the sweet essence of his beloved
ward. His mind swam with unorthodox visions and desires. He inclined his head,
lost to the power of her nearness, entranced by everything that was Sofia.
“Alek, my Alek …”
Each word infused Aleksender with a delicious and undeniable
warmth. Intoxicated by roses and wintertime, he found it difficult to speak,
difficult to think. Breathless, he swallowed and met the haunting depths of her
eyes.
“Please,” she dreamily murmured, “I want you to kiss me
again…”

years. She enjoys writing dark, edgy romances that challenge the reader’s
emotions and examine the redeeming power of love.
Imagining stories and characters has been Rachel’s passion for longer
than she can remember. Before learning how to read or write, she would dictate
stories while her mom would jot them down for her. She has a special affinity

over darkness. Her dream is to move readers and leave an emotional impact
through her words.
