What was her past? To all appearances she was the companion to Madame Brenney, Andre's mother. But she was more than that. Deep fires smouldered within the warm beauty of this woman; greed, ambition, passion and courage. To a dying man she gave undying pleasure and swift, killing cruelty. With all the artistry of a famous courtesan she lured him, frenzied him, and exalted him -- but never sated him. Through excess of sexual passion she killed him." Well, if you gotta go.
